I went to New York for the Annual Association of Geographers conference a while back. I took my son with me and he stayed with my family in Cheshire,CT but I did get to bring him to the city for one day and we were fortunate enough to meet one of his heros. He has been watching the Avengers on netflix since December and the Toys R Us in Times Square had a employee in full Iron Man attire. We waited till he came from his lunch break and my son could not have been happier. It felt so good to see his eyes light up and to have Iron talk to him was something he still talks about.
I am really glad I had the chance to take him with me on the trip. I recognize that is was only possible because I had family in the area. The entire trip was everything I wanted it to be. I spent (a lot) of time in Harlem and the Bronx looking at potential research sites. Particularly, the Harlem Children's Zone which I was particularly interested in studying. It looks as thought Detroit will be my location after all partly because of the time in spent in New York City.
