New York City, Day 0

Today was all travel. Ontario to Atlanta was 3 1/2 hours. Garrett was very good, but quite antsy near the end. Seemed like the longest descent in history. Note to airplane GPS makers. If it says "Time to Destination: 0:00" for 10 minutes before landing, you need to go back to the drawing board on that feature.

Garrett played tag and jumping at the airport to get out some energy. Then we got back on the same plane for the second leg of the trip. For some reason this time, we were not allowed to sit in front of the exit row with a car seat, so we had to move back. It's just funny because we had just flown across the country in that row.

Landed in NYC anf took a taxi to the hotel. So much traffic for 10:30pm. Garrett fell asleep on the ride. I was mesmorized by the mapquest display in the back of the cab. Andrea tried not to get sick from the way cabs drive in New York.

The hotel gave away our King bed, but promised one tomorrow. I transferred Garrett into the bed (he gets his own with two doubles), but he woke up and wanted to eat with us. Had a pastrami sandwich and matza ball soup from Carnegie Deli, super delicious. Garrett had some yummy mac and cheese from another deli very close. Then off to bed.

Tomorrow morning we'll explore the city.
