After a short deliberation, we decided that Adam and I would join Randy on his business trip to Moscow for three weeks. This would be the first time Randy and I had left the US since we returned a year ago and Adam’s first international trip.
We were extremely lucky and we had the whole bulkhead row to ourselves. Adam had his own seat and slept for six hours. As Randy said, this is the best we could have ever hoped for…yet when we landed at 3am Washington DC time we suprisingly didn’t feel refreshed.
Poor Niles shown above didn’t make it off the plane, a moment of silence please.
It took about an hour in Moscow traffic to get to our apartment. More on our apartment to come. We decided the best way to get over jet lag is to stay up as late as possible so we had a quick look around and a quick outfit change and headed out to see some sights.
Some of us were luckily able to sleep on the go.
We got on line and waited for tickets for the Kremlin and walked all the way inside….before we realized jet lag had reared it’s ugly head. We wanted to eat at Bosco Cafe which is in GUM and is located at the Red Square. We now know the Kremlin and the Red Square are two seperate places (but close to each other). So we left Kremlin (with plans to return after lunch) and headed to Bosco where we had a great lunch.
After our long and luxurious lunch we realized that the Kremlin and Lenin’s Tomb were now closed, jet lag rears its ugly head again. But we still had time to go to St Basil’s.
After we had our fill of sightseeing, we headed off to dinner. We walked to Pushkin, a restaurant known for their Russian food. They even managed to scrounge up a high chair for Adam so he could eat his dinner (several days later I now realize how rare this is…)
Pushkin was delicious. A little fancy, but we got to taste some Russian fare, vodka and pickled cabbage.
All in all we had a great first day in Moscow!

He was tangled in a bunch of airplane blankets and left behind. By the time we realized we were off the plane. We'll have to get Niles 2.0 in DC.
