New York, New York!

Over UEA weekend, we went to work with Vaughn! First, we all went standby with him to New York...a flight that leaves at 11:40 p.m. and arrives at 3:50 (5:50 a.m. in New York . Exhausting!) so that we could be passengers in his flight to Austin, Texas that left a few hours later. It was a first to fly when Vaughn was piloting the plane! That was really cool! We spent 1 day in Austin in his nice hotel, went swimming and ate out. The next morning started early at 4 a.m. so that we could fly back with Vaughn to New York. He made the announcement and welcomed us all aboard...that was fun, but unfortunately, I didn't record that, so we will just have to go to work with him again! We then spent almost about 1 and 1/2 days in New York, walking around, riding the trains, and going to and all the way up the Empire State Building! The one whole day we had doing those things, we forgot the camera in the hotel! We didn't do a good job AT ALL of saving the moment on film as you can see. We really would just have to go again. It was a lot of flying...Utah to New York to Austin, Texas back to New York, a short flight to Syracuse, New York and back and then New York, NY back to Utah all in 4 days. Whew!

Here are the kids visiting Dad in his "office". Doesn't he look great! The flight attendants were great and really spoiled the kids with drinks, cookies, chips and whatever else they could find. We had a great time.

The passengers were quite surprised when they opened up the bullet proof doors and let the kids in, especially when Shaun sat in the Captains chair, but the flight attendants just gave them extra treats, drinks, and free movies and everyone was happy!

(Just kidding!)
