And we're off...

We have been planning to go to San Diego for awhile now and it worked out perfectly to go this weekend.  I've been excited about getting out of town but DREADING the car trip that is 6-7 hours one way.  It's fine if you're going for a week, but hard to drive that much for a weekend.  I was griping it about it to Cory last week, saying I wish we could just snap our fingers and just be there.  Well, careful what you wish for because I'm pretty sure my wish came true.  Our friends, Brian & Claire, own their own plane and Brian (who used to be a commercial pilot) offered to fly out and pick us up.  YES!!!  We were SO excited.  He flew right into Chandler Regional Airport on Monday morning and we took off about 9:00am.  We were in Escondido before lunch time.  It was amazing and kicked off the weekend in a perfect way.

It was awesome to walk out on the tarmac and just load our luggage right on the plane.


Reese was ready for takeoff.  She was all 80's with her stack of bangles.


 Mimi drove us to the airport.  She was nervous about the small plane and wanted to see us off, hoping it would make her feel better.

Cory and Ryder were pretty good co-pilots :)
