Last Tuesday, my friend, Jeff, invited me along for a ride on a 1947 Grumman Goose amphibious plane. He had an open seat and offered it to me. They are phasing the Goose out in August, so I couldn't pass up such a unique experience! It was pretty awesome - complete with a water take-off and water landing! :)
I had some videos, but our internet won't allow me to upload them - to slow. But here are some pictures from our trip!!! Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteCool photos, Hon...and what a great opportunity for you! What don't you do, girlie girl? You'd think a girl stuck on an island wouldn't have much chance to do much....but you have sure proved that thought wrong. So glad you are doing so many fun things. Down to 9 1/2 days!!! Can't wait, Sweet Girl!
