This weekend's trip to New York & New Jersey from my grandmother's 90th birthday was quick but good. Lots of family disfunction time over the quick weekend trip. The best part of the trip was hanging out with my sis and her husband in Manhattan. We got to see the newly remodeled Museum of Modern Art, and it was actually pretty neat. Driving through the city wasn't as bad as I thought it would be... I guess my practice in Chicago paid off.

The worst part of the trip was the flight back. We got to the airport 3 hours before our flight left (don't ask why), and after the plane pushed back on-time we sat on the tarmac in the plane for an hour and a half thanks to high winds in Chicago.

In the end, though, I'm glad I live in an airline hub city like Chicago. It lets me avoid stuff like this.
