My Mom & Dad (Nana and Papa to the kids) are down for a visit, so as Papa and I both enjoy taking a few pictures from time to time, Jenn thought it would be a good time to take a sightseeing tour over Bermuda! That’s right, over – like 1,500 feet in the air sitting a Cessna 172 airplane!
Papa, Josh, and I were dropped off mid-morning at Blue Sky Flights for our tour – unfortunately the plane only seats 4 (including the pilot) so the girls were nice to leave the boys to it… though Ryley was definitely sad that she didn’t get to go this time!
Josh was happy to get the copilot’s seat!

Coming in for a landing – what a flight!
Thanks again to Heather (our pilot and tour guide) and to Josh the copilot for flying us around! It was awesome, the 40 minutes or so in the air really flew by! (Pun totally intended.)
