Traveling with kids

I know this is a bit late. We made the trip from Indiana back to Tatabanya almost four weeks ago. But for what it's worth.
At O'Hare right beyond the security check point in terminal 2 is this great play area designed by the Chicago Children's Museum. It included not only this plane but an air traffic control tower. Oliver and Benjamin ran around, loaded the cargo, talked to each other on the phone system connecting the plane and tower and peddled the stationary bike causing the helicopter's propeller to spin. If only every airport had such a cool place for kids to pass the time.
The view from the play area itself was quite rewarding. We saw several planes loaded and unloaded. Obviously airports are fun places for kids.

We're glad you didn't think it was too late for this update. Love the pictures. Too bad we couldn't see them enjoying the play area.
