This weekend we decided to head to NYC.\u00a0 After my parents drove down to Orlando, we got them in the inflight simulator as well as flight simulator.\u00a0 The inflight simulator demonstrates the safety equipment on the Airbus A320, and does limited motion, such as a failed take off or a water landing.\u00a0 The flight simulator is a CAE<\/a> flight simulator for the Airbus A320, which does full motion and graphics.<\/p>\n

Because of the flight loads to JFK, I had to send my parents to New York’s JFK airport on an earlier flight, and then Kaitlin and I would follow on the 3pm flight to LGA, as flight loads were lower to that airport.\u00a0 Once we got there, we took the express bus<\/a> to Penn Station and then walked to our hotel where my parents were waiting.\u00a0\u00a0 Since it was late, we walked to grab dinner and my parents went back to the room.\u00a0 Kaitlin and I walked around times square and 5th Ave to take photos of all the amazing Christmas decorations this time of year.<\/p>\n

The following morning we ate breakfast at a local cafe, and then my parents went to a museum while Kaitlin and I took the ferry to the Statue of Liberty.\u00a0 The ferry wait was almost an hour, and it was freezing!\u00a0 We took lots of photos, and after we were each done, we met up for dinner and more walking around times square.\u00a0 This time we went to the Rockefeller Christmas Tree.\u00a0 We wanted to ice skate, but the line was so long there was just no way that was going to happen.<\/p>\n
