Flying to Wyoming!!

Earlier in July we went to Wyoming for a family reunion.  We flew out with Aunt Julie and Jon; here are some pictures of our flight out to Denver.  Phineas enjoyed watching everything, and took to calling the trucks on the tarmac "zippers and zoomers."  Most exciting, once in Denver we got to ride a shuttle bus to the rental car agency!

Owls Head Transportation Museum

Last weekend Dad and Phin went to the Owls Head Transportation Museum to check out a touch-a-truck event.  In addition to the big rigs and heavy machinery on display, there were activities for kids including pedal car driving and a sand box.  Phineas and Dad checked out the museum too, and Phin's favorite exhibits included the BMW Isetta microcar and a 1918 pumper truck.  We also checked out the MG exhibition and posed for a picture with a '52 MG TD like Gido's.  We'll have to get more information about the MGs when we go back with Gido in a few weeks!

Flying to Oma's House

Our trip to Seattle began in Portland, our departure airport.  Phineas has been on a plane before, but he didn't remember it, so looking at all of the airport activity was great fun.  He especially liked the little tugs that pulled the baggage cars.

 After leaving Portland, our layover was in Detroit.  There he got treated to moving walkways (wow!) and lots of escalators.  There was a really neat tunnel with moving walkways and crazy colors.  The best, though, was the intra-terminal train that we rode on.  Phineas laughed and squealed with delight when we got on; then he watched the train go back and forth while we waited for our plane to board.

And, if you're curious, Phineas flew well.  The best part was taking off (which he also like the last time he flew) and he liked the free cookies they gave out.  He also got to high-five a pilot!
