The Adventure of using Public Transportation

Yesterday was a somewhat adventurous day when it came to visiting my parents in Kaysville. We decided to take the FrontRunner (Salt Lake City's version of commuter rail) to get from SLC to Kaysville (which is about 25 miles north of the city). In order to get to the FrontRunner station we had to either walk, take the bus, or take TRAX (our light rail system). Well, it ended up that we were running late leaving our house so we decided to walk until we saw a bus that was headed to the frontrunner station...but each time we saw a bus that was going where we needed to go we weren't at a bus stop...so we walked faster, then we ran, then we finally caught the TRAX just one stop away from the station. We got to the station with one minute (literally 1 minute) to spare. Jake had to buy his pass so I kept pushing the 'door open' button on the train so he could run and catch it before it took off. Just as we sat down in our seats, we were off!
Then on our way home there was a fire at one of the oil refineries near the train tracks, so we were able to take the train as far as the Woods Cross station, then had to be bussed from there to the Salt Lake station. From the Salt Lake station we got on TRAX which we took to City Center and from there we walked home. 
Whew, I'm tired just typing about it...this was defiantly not the easiest or fastest way to travel...but it worked, and we kept one more car off the street.
