Ramsey's First Airplane Ride

 Oh, another FIRST for Ramsey... first trip in an airplane.  Wahoo!   We'd planned a trip to see Grandpa Orin and Grandma Judi at their home in Ohio.   Our flight was to leave around 7AM, so we were up REEEEEEALLY EARLY.  Oye! 

Ramsey did GREAT going through Security. He had everything all figured out and knew what to remove from his suitcase and where to scan things.  I was a usual chaotic spaz, having packed too many things that had to be taken out and viewed.  🥴

When it was time to board, Ramsey was OFF and running, leaving me in the dust on the jet bridge.  I have other pictures, but they are ALL blurry because he was hustling so fast.

We had games and Netflix shows downloaded onto his Kindle to make the trip fun.

There was some sort of "issue" on the plane that had to be "looked at".  That's always fun to know and try to explain to a small child.  The tech was dispatched and had fixed the issue in under an hour.  And, they also deiced the plane while we waited. 

Ramsey was starting to get nervous as the plane started to move.  Then, the lights in the cabin went off and it was "go time".

Too bad the lighting couldn't have been better.  Ramsey LOVED take-off and thought it was "perfect"!

We had to move QUICKLY to our next flight.  With the last delay, we didn't have much time. We had two more quick flights; one from Minneapolis to Detroit and then from Detroit to Columbus.   

On Flight 2 from Detroit to Columbus, the flight attendant gave Ramsey a nice gold pair of wings. He was elated and put it on his sweatshirt.  When we landed, he was allowed into the cockpit to meet the pilots and check out the controls!  Even better! 

When we arrived in Detroit, we had a bite to eat and waited for the last flight to Columbus.

Ramsey got a kick out of watching planes taking off and landing.

When we arrived in Columbus, we hopped in the transport van and rented a Nissan 4-door. Ramsey got to pick... he wanted "the cool fast black car".

Then, off we drove to Grandpa and Grandma's house to stay for the week!
