Disney - Travel Day

 Today's the Day!!!!  All our bags are packed (Marie Kondo style) and we're ready to go.

We made it to the airport with plenty of time to spare.

While we were waiting to board the plane, Joe was sitting in the window and waved at the pilot.  He in turned pointed to Joe and motioned for him to come see him.

When we walked onto the plane we told the flight attendant what the pilot did and she directed us to the cockpit.  I don't know if this is some secret we never knew about or if this was just our lucky day, but the pilot took all three boys into the cockpit and let them each sit in his seat.  As a grown adult I thought this was a super cool experience, so I can only imagine how the boys felt.  When I was little, all I got was a pin with wings on it!  ;)

Truthfully I felt a little nervous traveling, espeically flying on a plane, during COVID.  But I was tired of being cooped up, had read how safe planes were, and honestly just needed to get away.  I was pleasantly surprised with all the changes the airline had made.  As you walk on the plane they give you a sanitizing wipe to use for your seat, tray table, arm rests...whatever you feel needs it.  And when it's time for the beverage cart to come by, they give you a prepacakged bag with a bottle of water, a bag of pretzels, some cookies and another sanitizing wipe.  You can also ask for another beverage to go along with it.

The boys are so used to having snacks at school that they were great at taking a bite and then pulling their masks back up.  It's crazy to think that it's just how they're used to doing things now.

After a relatively uneventful flight, and a few movies later, we made it to Florida!!
