switching places

After I came out of my room dressed in a flight suit and said, "I'm off", Elizabeth questioned what was going on. "Why are you dressed like Daddy?" My response was that we were switching places for a day - "I am going to go fly airplanes and Daddy is going to stay at home with you kids." This answer seemed to appease her and off I went to TPS.

No, I didn't just wake up with this grand plan - it was Spouse Appreciation Day at TPS.

With a T-38 ride and a go at an F-16 simulator, I am not sure that I am not envious of what Mike gets to do at "work".

All in all it was a fun day and I am so glad that I got to experience it.

Waiting in Life Support to try on our parachutes and check to
make sure our masks and helmets fit.

Don't I look like I belong here? If only the nerves came
across on the camera...

And I'm off! At this point I think the pilot was letting me
taxi - what was he crazy???
