JR showing his Great-Grandpa and Dad how airplanes fly.
The whole crew on a windy day at the beach
JR dropped in on his Great-Grandparents in Florida this past weekend. We flew down on Saturday, and back on Monday morning (since Tom had class). JR did great on the plane ride. I mean, really great! It's nice to have an empty seat for him. And even nicer when you can put him in it in his car seat. And then he sleeps 1.5 hours. ...and life is good.
But! The visit! It was a great opportunity to see Grandma and Grandpa Uriwal. As a bonus Mom (aka Grammy) came down since she had the weekend off -- what a deal! We visited with the Great-Grandparents where Tom and Grandpa took turns asking about each other's flying experiences -- Grandpa was a B-17 navigator (youngest lead group navigator as far as I can tell) with 30 combat missions in WWII. We also took a few outings and of course JR crawled all over their house and tried to get into things. Luckily he didn't manage to break anything (same can't be said for his mom, but that's another story..)
We even made a trip to the beach and Dad helped JR "walk" in the surf. Watch out for jellyfish! It was a very windy day and a few of them were washed up on the beach. Everyone made it back safely.
All in all a great trip. And pictures to prove it.
JR keeps an eye out for jellyfish
