New York Vacation - Day 6: Travel Home

The travel home was fairly uneventful. Our flight from LGA to Minneapolis was 1.5 hours late, but this time we had a 2.5 hour layover so we made our connection to Portland and ultimately back to Redmond. Ryann had been absolutely perfect on the way to New York – she fell asleep during takeoff and woke up at landing on all three flights – but wasn’t as great on the way home. She spent a good 20 minutes screaming on the LGA to MSP flight, but was better after that.

We feel that we saw everything we wanted to and it definitely puts the things you see on TV shows into perspective. Although we missed Natalie, I have to admit it was much easier to play tourist without a three-year-old and her attention span (and her afternoon naps). The baby was able to easily sleep whenever she wanted in the baby carrier, although she seemed to be quite sick of it at the end of the trip and would cry when she saw me take it out. But she survived too. Our legs had quite the work out. If only our weather would improve here at home, we could start walking here too.

I would recommend this trip to anyone who hasn’t been there; although I don’t feel a burning desire to go back anytime soon.

Next big trip…. Maybe Vegas this summer for Cindy's 40th.
