Sorry it has been so long since you have heard from Gabe and I!! You all know how busy life gets ; ) So last weekend was amazing! Gabe and I went to Aviation Day at Paige Field last Saturday, Gabe has always really been into planes and flying. We decided to get there early and right as we walked in we saw a sign for plane rides $20. Of course we were the first ones in line and the first ones that got a ride! So the original ride was suppposed to be a quick 10 minute flight, but as we were turning the plane around to head back to Paige Field they came over our headsets and said there was an accident and we would not be able to come back and land! We were all worried about the accident that had happened at Aviation Day, but because of the accident our flight ended up being a nice joy ride over Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Sanibel, and up to Punta Gorda! We flew over the Boston Red Sox stadium and down the coastline. It was sooo awesome seeing all of that in a tiny 4 seater cessna plane! After that Gabe and I signed up to win a discovery flight with a flight school to see if you would be interested in flight school, it usually costs $99. Gabe got the call last Sunday saying he won the free discovery flight! I think last weekend was definetly a sign that its time for Gabe to pursue flight school : )
I haven’t got the details of the Discovery flight yet, as it was just this morning that he went, but I’m sure he will be on to blog about his new venture soon! As for the accident at Aviation Day–luckily no one was too badly injured, but here is the news story about it. http://www.nbc-2.com/global/story.asp?s=11504975
Here are some pictures from our adventure : )
