All aboard! Barack Obama journeyed by train from Philadelphia to the nation's capital on Saturday, the date of a close family member's birthday.

"Let's build a government that is responsible to the people, and accept our own responsibilities as citizens to hold our government accountable," Obama said in Philadelphia. "Let's make sure this election is not the end of what we do to change America, but the beginning."

The incoming first family has another reason to celebrate: Today is Michelle Obama's 45th birthday.
