The Airplane Restaurant

So we decided to take a River on an adventure to eat lunch on an airplane.

First of all, you have to understand airplanes or rather "zooms" as they are refereed to in our household, are River's favorite things. He loves all things planes, especially when he gets to fly on them. He has literally claimed every Southwest plane as "my zoom".

So of course we thought he would love the experience of eating lunch at the Airplane Restaurant in Colorado Springs. We didn't realize how far south it was in Colorado Springs, so it was a really long drive, made even longer by crazy traffic on the freeway. We bailed off the freeway because pregger-lady was getting sick from on the stopping and going and found a lovely scenic drive through Monument. Thanks sky!

River loved eating lunch in the plane. Actually he loved going up and playing in the cockpit and pretending to fly the plane. Eating lunch became a secondary focus for him and all he wanted to do was keep going back. 

Now the restaurant and food itself, well it wasn't anything spectacular, but seeing River in the cockpit "flying" his first plane, well that made it worth it.

Perhaps he'll be a pilot some day, and we can bum free flights off him, 

now wouldn't that be lovely? :)

PS. I know I'm a little bit of a Nerd, but I like when these boys dress a like.
