Southern Visit: Day 1

We are at my parent's house today, after successfully navigating our way down South via USAir. If you remember from a previous post, this was the first plane ride for our children, some of whom had been nervous about the prospect and others very excited. We had a 5:30am flight, so I'm much too tired to say much about the trip and our first day here, but one of Drew's mid-flight comments deserves mention. He panicked a bit while we were waiting to take off, but his mood vastly improved once we were in the air, and once when the plane tipped a wing toward the dark clouds below, he exclaimed excitedly, "IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE DESCENDING INTO A SWIRLING VORTEX!"

Who knows if the other passengers appreciated this as much as we did, but who cares! Great stuff.
