Day one began with a flight out of the SLC Airport to the JFK Airport in New York City. This was technically the kids' first flight. (Ryan flew with me when he was 3 months old). We split our seats so that both kids could be by a window. We wanted them to both see the beauty of the world from the air. As we began our flight Ryan looked out the window and said "Wow, you can see the curvature of the earth from here." I had a pretty good laugh at that. Ryan has always said some pretty funny things. The flight was somewhat uneventful for Ryan and myself. Brett and Sydney on the other hand had all kinds of fun. Sydney was terrified of being so far in the air. She was fine looking out the window until she saw something white. She asked Brett what that white thing was and he told her it was a cloud. She immediately shut the window. She was not thrilled at all that we were up above the clouds.
About midway through the flight we experienced a bit of turbulence. Shortly after, Brett passed our seats with a bag in his hand. He had thrown up. Poor guy felt crappy the rest of the day.
We landed at the JFK airport shortly after 3pm local time. It took us a while to get our luggage and our rental car. The kids had never been in a rental car either so it was a new experience for them.
From the airport we drove in the crazy NYC traffic to Stamford, CT to our hotel. After checking in to our hotel, we went and got dinner. Brett still was not feeling well so it was an early to bed night for us all.
Your kids are so big and cute!!
