Off we go!

We're at the airport! That was a very early wake up. Katie set my cell phone alarm with a series of progressively more annoying rings 2 minutes apart starting at 3:45. The first one did the trick and the others just made us laugh. Today we fly through Minneapolis to Newark. We'll get in at about 1:30 and the plan is to see the city via the Staten Island Ferry as soon as we get to Manhattan. We'll then try to do the Top of the Rock, catching the view from the top of Rockefeller Center. After supper we'll head straight to Broadway to see Chicago. We're in the second row! Our hotel is attached to the Newark airport so by the time we get back, we will have had a really long day. Hopefully we don't fall asleep on the train! Thanks so much to our wonderful family for taking care of so many things for us while we're gone! (see: dog, house, lawn, mortgage payments... Okay, kidding on that last one.) Also, a quick note to all the grammar cops out there. Since we're on the iPod, these posts will be rife with typos and short on commas. Deal with it. See you in NYC!
