Long Day's Journey Into Night

With apologies to Eugene O'Neill, "yesterday" was one long day. I'll spare the details aside from noting that an overnight trans-Atlantic flight with two kids plus a seven-hour layover in the Brussels airport equals one exhausted family. Not that that's a surprise.

We were pleasantly impressed by Jet Airlines, an Indian airline we knew little about. And the boys couldn't have been more psyched to have control of their own movie/TV screen and remote.

Garrett illuminated his mind with Phineas & Ferb's "Day of the Living Gelatin" (four times in row, right through dinner).

Ben delighted in Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

Was the movie as good as the book, Ben?

"Uh, yea-uhh!"
