Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall

When Val turned 13 (as most kids
unfortunately do), we decided to do something really, really special. So I booked a flight on a small Cessna
to fly around the Puget
Sound area. He got to sit in front with the pilot while Cyn and I
sat in back.
It was a beautiful day for flying and the broken clouds were well above us at 3000 feet. We had good visibility and could see probably 50 miles in just about every direction. We were able to fly over Bellevue, Lake Washington and finally Seattle. We then climbed to 2100 feet over Puget Sound and headed North.
We left Snohomish airport and headed southeast
first flying at 1500
feet over Duvall and Carnation. Then we were able to circle Snoqualmie falls several times.
The plane
headed northwest over the Boeing plant and then over Seattle. We then
followed the coast to Mukilteo and went over the Everett
Boeing plant returning to Snohomish Airport. The trip lasted about one
hour. It was great fun.
