Then there was the ride home!

There's just not much to say except we had an eventful trip home from New York! Our flight was delayed twice, then canceled and we were stuck in Laguardia with a fidgety baby who was nearing lunch and naptime. American Airlines was telling us we could try to fly stand-by out of Newark at 5pm or possibly get tickets on a 8pm flight out of Newark, but our best best was to fly out of Laguardia the next day at Noon! WHAT?!

At that point we all just wanted to go home and we knew there was no way all of us were going to make it on the same flight. So after realizing that we just couldn't sit around the airport (mind you we would have to leave Laguardia with our luggage and go to Newark) for eight hours to try and catch a flight home we decided to drive. Well, Jeff and I decided to drive and then my Dad proclaimed he was never getting on a plane again, so we grabbed our luggage and took the Budget bus back to the car rental station. The woman at the counter finally took pity on us and gave us one of the reserved minivans, so that we could drive back to Detroit. Looking back the drive wasn't all that bad. All in all, Jeff was back for court and my Dad was back for surgery on Monday, we didn't get in until late though (almost 3AM), but Audrey did great and caught plenty of Z's on the way! Here's some pics of what I saw through the car window!

Leaving NYC... thank goodness for our Garmin! It took us all the way home!!
A shot of Yankee Stadium for Jeff.
Crossing over the G. Washington bridge with Manhattan in the distance.
Nutter about ready for a nap!
We drove through PA for what seemed like forever, but it was really beautiful to drive through the Allegheny Mountains. If we were driving and taking our time this would have been a neat stop along the way.
As evening approached a fog started lifting up out of the valleys of the mountains. It was beautiful!
SOOOOO glad to be home!!
