Our Fun Daytrip to Friday Harbor, WA

Today was a fabulous day. Our friends Brian and Nadine Behrend flew us up to Friday Harbor for lunch. Brian even let Sylvia and I fly for a while! It was really amazing to leave Arlington at 2:00, fly south and do a loop around Seattle and then continue up to Friday Harbor, sightsee and have a leisurely lunch...all that and still make it back before dark. It makes us want to get pilot's licenses and do this ourselves.... it really does!

Awesome pictures. There's nothing more exciting and sometimes frightening than flying. Oh wait.. unless that's landing :).

Glad you had a great day!
