Did you know...

that it takes over 11 hours to drive to Long Island, New York from Clyde?!? Did you also know that a normal attention span is 3-5 minutes for every year of a child's age? Did you know that this translates into an impossible 110 different things to do on a long car ride for the average 2 year old? Well, now we do!!

We were able to keep cal busy for much of the trip, but he simply ran out of things that were interesting enough to keep him happy...

Here we are getting ready to cross the George Washington bridge into New York City...

This is cal enjoying the sight of the bridge (we thought we were almost there when we hit NYC, but alas, there was still approx 3 more hours of travel time to get to where we needed to be on Long Island with the traffic on a friday night!)

And here is how cal cooled off and worked off some of his "long car ride" energy. We were lucky this little girl (nikki) was at the wedding, it gave cal someone to play with the night before and the night of Karen and Frank's wedding, which was the whole reason we drove to new york with a two year old in tow in the first place!
