We’re “in line” on the runway at LaGuardia - 45th in line. The delay is expected to be at LEAST 55 minutes.

After the Children’s Museum, we took the train back to our hotel. Mikaela was so exhausted that she fell asleep between the time I picked her up to carry her through the subway turnstile and the doors shut and I sat down on the 1 train headed downtown. She slept though the entire 45 minute [...]

After the struggle with Alice’s Tea Cup yesterday, which was followed by a trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art - at which Mikaela enjoyed seeing a lot of cool stuff, but got frustrated by the “no touching” rules - we decided that today would be all Mikaela’s choice.Â

Yesterday, we were joking with Mikaela, and she was saying that we were going to take a bus to New York. Turns out that she was right. Right now, we’re in a virtually empty Philadelphia airport terminal waiting for luggage to be transferred so that we can take a two-hour bus ride to LaGuardia [...]

Weather in New York has closed LaGuardia, and our plane was already low on fuel from circling for an hour. So we’re now on the ground in Philly - originally just for fuel, but now that LaGuardia is closed we’re probably stuck here until NY re-opens. The hotel was great - they’re [...]
