Flying "Home"

The time had finally come for us to fly to our new home in Germany.   We were blessed to be able to fly our niece Brittney over for the first month and use our miles to bump her coach class ticket to business so that we could all fly together.  After 3 visits flying with Dawson by myself in coach class it was a nice change to have two helpers and business class seats.  The flight started out with the attendant asking my son some general questions in German.  He listened intently and then proceeded to look at me as if I could translate it the whole thing.  She quickly realized that we are not fluent in German and quickly changed her speech.  Brittney and Dawson enjoyed checking out all the cool things they could do with the seats, tv, and extras.   Right before take off they showed the safety video and Dawson looked over with a happy smile asking when in the flight we were going to get to do the slide and special air masks.  He was sad to realize that it was not standard on every flight and we were all praying that we would never ever have to use any of those things.  Finally we were ready for take off.  They were excited to feel the plane head into the sky and watch their world get smaller and smaller.  Dawson even asked for me to please roll down his window so he could touch the clouds.

After a nice meal we all laid down for some quick shut eye.  My loving husband got to figure out how to get Dawson to sleep even though he was just too excited.  We landed no worse for the wear just a bit tired.  Let the adventure begin!
