Taking my 10 year old to the Belmont

[DonGuido]

So now my wife an I are toying with the notion of going. I have mega SW Airlines points to use up so the flight from Dallas would only cost us $22.80 for some kind of service fee. The dilemma is this though:

It's the same day my granddaughter graduates from HS. I'm sure she and her mom would understand if we decided to opt for the Belmont and not the ceremony and they are typically very loooooong and boring just to see your one graduate walk across the stage for 20 seconds. I'd rather go to her college graduation in a few years but still it's hard to think my wife and I would miss it.

She's a great young lady and of course we love her dearly . . . but the Belmont and possible history?!?!

I've looked up hotels in the area and there are several still with rooms available.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm . . .

Simple: fly to NY Friday, taxi to hotel, taxi to the Park, taxi back to hotel, taxi back to airport, fly back to Dallas Sunday.
