The best part about having kids is they slow you down and appreciate the little things...like the joy in riding the subway. When it was far distance, we took the subway and I swear the kids liked the ride more than the destination. Henry loved playing "math games" on the subway, where I would tell him our stop and then we he would need to subtract the numbers of streets we were going to go under. No joke - thought it was the best game ever. Francie was enthralled with the whole process and I have to say - it seemed the New Yorkers were enthralled with her awe over it all. I really do find that in travelling with kids, you often see the "softer" side in the city as it hard not to smile when you hear the shriek of glee that Francie lets out when the train arrived. Henry even made friends with a man and offered to draw a portrait of him on the train....hysterical.
