Leaving on a Jet Plane -Carynn, Jamie & Ty

I haven't written a lot about Ty's adventures while visiting us. I promise I will. But since I was writing about planes, etc. I thought I'd share about Ty's first airplane ride.

Carynn and Ty drove down with us January 3 & 4. Jamie flew down January 15. They all flew back home on January 18. The morning that they were leaving they determined to leave early so they could do some exploring in Las Vegas. They left before 11 AM. They encountered no problems on their way down to Vegas and parked the car so that they could check out the some sights.

They visited the aquarium at Mandalay Bay, watched the fountains at the Bellagio and did a lot of walking. Ty did a lot of riding in his umbrella stroller.

They checked in their rental car and rode the shuttle to the airport. Because they had Ty with them they were able to get in the family line to go through security. After that they got to ride the tram to their gate. I heard from Carynn that Ty enjoyed all of his transportation adventures. They kept him occupied in the gate area and took him exploring too.

They had chosen an evening flight hoping that would work better for Ty's schedule. Unfortunately their flight was delayed an hour. Carynn mentioned that as they were boarding the plane they got a few looks. You know the kind of look that says, "Oh no, not a 2 year old on the flight!" Carynn also mentioned that there were nice people who said things like, "Hey, I have kids too.etc..."

Well, our little guy was very tired after his exciting day so he SLEPT THE ENTIRE FLIGHT. What a great experience for all of them to have with his first time flying!

It was a Bon Voyage all right!

What a long day, but it went so well! Ty was a trooper! He never napped during the day and so he crashed before the plane even took off! What a blessing to have a peaceful flight!
