Let's fly away....

One of my favorite things to do is fly!

I don't mind waiting in line...when it is to board a plane. I get a rush when I'm pressed back up against my seat during take off. I think the pop tastes better at 30,000 feet in the air. I especially enjoy the sight of clouds from a different vantage point. I am awed by the different perspective of mountain ranges and bodies of water from the sky. Looking at the rows of houses near the landing strips as the plane comes down from the air is cool too. And I like the sound of the air rushing over the wing brakes when you've landed and the plane comes to a stop.

Flying is so cool.

I got to fly the weekend of Jan 30 - Feb 2. I went to North Carolina to visit my friend Dawn and her new baby Caroline (and her mom and her husband.) I had shared with Patty (my friend from church/home group) that I was going to go. She has a niece that lives in NC, so she decided to fly there with me and back. We spent the weekend in different parts of the state, but traveled together. It was really a great way to travel! I had a fantastic flying companion - we talked, played cards, talked, ate meals together, talked, and had a great time! Then I was able to go have a great time with Dawn and on the way home I could give Patty a play by play of my weekend fun (and she did the same) while we traveled home. Here are a couple photos from our stop in Detroit on the way to NC! :)
