Instead of giving presents for Christmas, we decided that we would take a family trip. We all (Mom, Dad, Brent, Whitney, Tim, and me) spent the weekend in New York. We stayed at the Double Tree in Times Square and had a great view. We went to the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, World Trade Center, Chinatown, Little Italy, Central Park, 5th Avenue, Macy's, Grand Central, and of course we ate! It was great being able to show my parents around.
I love the fast pace in NYC. There is always something to do. Every time I am there I wish that I could move there. In reality, I would not make it during cold weather. It was in the 50s and windy, and I was freezing!
The trip was fun and pretty uneventful until we were getting ready to board our flight home. First, they announce that they are doing a security check on our plane. All of these TSA guys are all around our gate. Some of them went onto the plane. Then the guy at the desk announced that we would be delayed because they were doing an idle engine check and they felt that the there was a 60-70% chance that the plane was good. He also said that if it was not a good plane, they would get us another one. Then they announced that we were boarding the plane and 3 TSA agents walked down to the plane and stood there while everyone got on. It was kind of scary and really makes you think about flying again.
