We got back from PA, and I didn't run much while we were traveling. Ran once in a hotel and once by my brother in law's house. That was a nice run on the golf course behind their house.

We had a good time. Went into NYC, saw most of Manhattan. We just took the boys, so we were able to do a little more. We saw the Statue of Liberty up close while on a boat tour, and then Times Square, the UN building, and 30 Rock. After that, we walked around Central Park. We ended up walking about 5 miles, and there were several times where we needed to walk out of our way for a bathroom emergency. When we were driving back to PA, The boys crashed hard. Eli started whining in his sleep about how he didn't want to walk anymore. He slept through dinner and didn't wake up until the next morning.

Also saw the start of a big city car chase. We noticed a guy hit a taxi to our right as we were driving out, and then we noticed that the driver side window was smashed. We passed the car, and then watched him go around the cab, take a quick right, and then saw 4 cop cars follow. A mounted policeman and a bike cop came from the opposite direction and also followed. That was weird.

Now we're back home. My seven miles were easy. Can't find my watch. I didn't have it while on vacation.

Sounds like a fun trip! Sounds like your kiddos were wiped out.
