We're leaving on a jet plane

Wednesday we woke up at the unholy hour of 5:30 to get to the Seattle airport to fly to Alaska. Unfortunately my new phone didn't get the message to change time zones, so we actually ended up waking up at 4:30am.

Finding the airport was pretty easy, but I made one wrong turn and had to flip a U-turn so Saffron informed me, "Daddy, you went the wrong way!"

All of the kids did great in the airplane. Saffron thought takeoff and touchdown was like a rollercoaster, so she put her hands in the air and squealed "wheeeeeee!"

The flight stopped at Juneau and then Ketichikan so it was almost a 6 hour flight. But it was nice it went straight to Cordova so we didn't have to actually change planes or have a layover.

Miles took some nice photos out the airplane window.
Snow on the craggy peaks.

Saffron was quite the trooper. She seemed to enjoy the flight more than the rest of us.
After a short rest Grandma and Grandpa took us all fishing.

Ian was the only one to catch anything. He scooped up some pink salmon with a net. Net and release.
