I'll be honest. I didn't make plans to take the family to the National Air & Space Museum's "Be A Pilot" Day because I knew the kids would love it. Nope. I did it because for Father's Day weekend, I knew there was probably nothing my husband would love more than to wander around the airfield looking at (and climbing in) a bunch of old airplanes. The fact that Papa was able to join us was the icing on the cake. It's hard to go wrong when a retired fighter pilot and a young airplane buff get together to wander around a field of aircraft with two toddlers who love anything with wings (or rotors). Caleb was on cloud nine pointing out and sitting in things that go "zoom!" and Abby got to try her hand at buckling and unbuckling every seatbelt in every airplane or helicopter we passed. I think Justin and my dad had almost as much fun as the kids, and my mom and I were content to follow them around like paparazzi snapping pictures of all the picture perfect moments.
The kids showed their appreciation by taking incredible naps when we got home, and my husband showed his gratitude by cooking us a delicious dinner on the Big Green Egg. I'd say our Father's Day weekend got off to a pretty successful start.
