Today I went with my dad, Mark, Rachel and Matthew to the airport in New Iberia. There is a group called Young Eagles, where experienced pilots bring kids ages 8-17 up in a plane to give them a glimpse into the world of aviation. Often, it is the child's first plane ride ever. Of course, at 20 I knew I was too old, but I wanted to take pictures, and I thought that maybe after they brought up all the kids, they might possibly let me go. I took 364 pictures! And some of those.....were taken in the air. ;D Yep! I got to go on my first plane ride EVER! And therefore got to cross out a wish on my bucket list. It was so exciting. Here's some of the pics I've edited so far.

It was an amazing experience that I won't soon forget. I have tons more pics of the scenery and the other people and planes, but they'll have to be in a later post.
So have you ever ridden in a plane?
Did you like it?
What a blessing! So soon after you posted your bucket list, you got to cross one item off! Planes are so much fun...My first time, however, I was terrified! But once we were up in the air, I was fine.(:
ReplyDeleteI love the photos! Your little brother is so cute!

Hey Vicki! Thanks! Yes, it was such a blessing. Mark said he was nervous. I didn't get nervous, my problem was air sickness. But other then that, I loved it. Thanks about my little brother. He is such a sweetie, and quite the little rascal. ;)
