Both solo cross country trips done

This morning I finished up my second solo cross country, the last major milestone to cross for my private pilot (single engine land) certificate with the exception of the FAA practical test.

First cross country was Boise / Burns, OR / Baker City, OR / Boise. Did that one Sunday. Then today went Boise / Twin Falls / Jackpot, NV / Boise, took 3 about 3 hours round trip, with a pretty healthy headwind coming back (ground speed of only about 87 knots).

Looking forward to the day Jenn, Ava, and I can take the plane somewhere by ourselves and show Ava what it’s like to fly! Shouldn’t be too long, I am hoping to finish up this month…

BeerFest 2009

There was a festival in the park where Scott could sample beers, and fun things for Ava to do as well. Although it was crazy crowded, it was a lot of fun!

Daddy would push the wall of the bounce house causing Ava to fall over backwards. She loved it!
