Saturday, April 11 It was great to wake up and know that we would be home that day. I looked at the weather and showed Dexter that if we had stayed in Albuquerque we would still be stuck there, because there was currently a thunderstorm circling the town. He said he knew Albuquerque was a place to...

Friday, April 10 My entries are all on days that we flew. If there were entries for days we just got in the plane, I would have one for yesterday, too. But maybe Rudy’s entry will help explain: I forgot to mention one thing about our cross country flight: while in St. Louis, we got a flat tire that...

Wednesday, April 8 Our original plan, of visiting Boston for a few nights and having Nell and Rudy leave from there, was de-railed since visiting Nell’s dad was one of the main reasons to head north and we got to see him in New York. We looked at the schedule for the remainder of Rudy’s spring...

One goal of our trip was to make it to Washington, DC, where we have been to a lot of museums. Here are some of the things I learned while visiting them: The first thing I learned was when I was at the Newseum in Washington, D.C. If you ever get the time, I would suggest going there. On the first...

When we left from Califonia we headed toward Tuscon, Arizona where I had a chocolate chip pancake for brunch. Then, we went to Marfa, Texas where we we stayed at the Thunderbird Hotel. For dinner I had a bacon burger at a Mexican-American restaurant. We also watched a lot of TV in Marfa (DVDs on...

Saturday, April 4 Sadly, Nell got news of a death in her extended family, someone the boys had actually met the previous summer out in the Hamptons. After some discussion we decided to alter our itinerary and head up to New York City so that she could attend the service and the boys could see their...

This is a recap of all of what has happened to us on this cross country trip so far. First thing Monday morning, we hopped in the plane and flew to Tucson, Arizona. The food was delicious, I had a waffle with chocolate chips, whip cream, and apples soaked in a variety of sugary substances that made...

Thursday, April 2 This was one of our shortest days of flying, since we had pushed a little the night before. We hung around the hotel in the morning, so that Nell could send her script off to the producers, and then made our way to the airport. There was weather around Charlotte and hanging over...

Wednesday, April 1 We wanted to have dinner in Atlanta with Nell’s great-uncle Abbott. There was some weather over New Orleans when we woke up, but we waited it out (I went to the aquarium with the boys while Nell finished the re-write on her script). On the way to the airport I called the FBO and...

Tuesday, March 31 Onward to “the other L A.” Nell worked on her script while I took the boys to a delicious breakfast at Squeeze Marfa. Who thought you were going to get delicious fresh-squeezed orange juice in a tiny town in the Texas hill country? Marfa is, in some sense, an invention of Donald...
