Cleveland, MS via N2205U

When Aaron and I bought N2205U it was our dream retirement “vehicle of choice.”  We always thought instead of traveling in an RV when we retired, that an airplane would be our preferred “ride.”  Also, the word retirement never fit our program because we are too young, financially not ready, nor do we see that anytime in the near future or even 20+ years from now.  But when the opportunity presented itself to purchase this wagon, we took it and have always wanted to load up the family and use it that way it should be used.  So at the end of September, we did just that!  We loaded up the family and made a secretive quick trip to see my favorite niece and sister-in-law…oh ya…and my brother!  Just kidding Toddie Tu Tu.  

It was a 7 hour flight and we broke it up into a few separate stops to stretch our legs and eat some snacks (for some reason road trips always make you hungry)!  I think we had Todd totally unaware of our arrival until about an hour left to land…plus we needed a lift to his house and a set of wheels…so logistically we needed to let him know our plan lol.  It also let us get Zoey to the airport to see us land, which was pretty exciting from our view to see her excited to greet us.  

It was a super quick trip as Aaron only had a few days, and with no one else able to fly this plane back to Arizona, we packed in as much excitement as we could in the 4 days as we possibly could.  

On the way home, we had to navigate our way thru a pretty intense thunderstorm and dad and Aaron were checking their iPads and the weather radar minute by minute.  It provided mom and I a little excitement but they did an amazing job getting us home safely and one of the most amazing sunsets to touch down and land.  We had a surreal experience in the airplane and one that we hope we can duplicate in the near future.
