Planning a trip to DC next year with Daughter #4. Leaving Chicago on a Friday evening, with arrival at (hopefully) early afternoon via the Capitol Limited on Saturday.
We had originally planned to leave DC on Tuesday, with a Wed AM return.
I tossed out the idea of extending our trip with a visit to Boston (leave DC Wed AM and arrive BOS that evening).
It would be fun to ride the Acela, right?
But....
First class? Do I really need it? I'm not clear from Amtrak's site what the real perks of 1st Class are. Bigger seats? Free drinks? What else?
