Sunday, February 15 -- The Journey Home
This day was relatively uneventful, which was okay by us! We got up pretty early and headed to The Breadstix Cafe for breakfast. A trip to NYC couldn't be complete without a bagel breakfast! It was pretty good. The place was set up like a Starbucks, where you order at the counter and pick up your food down by the register. While eating there, a pair of older ladies came in. One sat down and waited while the other one ordered their food. The ordering one, let's call her Madge, was so funny! She kept calling everyone working there "Honey" and reiterating the order very loudly. She kept asking all the people questions until she finally got her food and was satisfied! I told Cecilia that maybe that would be us someday...I, of course, would probably be the Madge since I'm so loud and questioning all the time!
After breakfast, we got a cab outside of our apartment and headed to LaGuardia. Our cab driver got a very generous tip since we didn't have any smaller bills but at that point, we were like, "Oh well!" We spent some time snoozing/reading at LGA before a very smooth flight into Chicago. At O'Hare, we got some lunch and snacks and took the LONGEST WALK over to our connecting flight's gate. We took the quick flight back to Peoria, accompanied by a very motherly flight attendant who went row by row, checking to make sure we had our seatbelts buckled!
We made it back to Bloomington in once piece! All in all, it was a great trip with, thankfully, no real incidents or anything! I had a lot of fun and Cecilia was a great travel buddy -- as were her brother and all of his friends!
