Lucy and I hopped in the plane this past weekend to have a nice little visit with our good friends Ben and Mari and their 1.5 year old, Max. Brandi got a nice break and took a stay at home vacation. We caught a Blue Jackets vs Rangers hockey game there, which was awesome for several reasons. It was Lucy's first NHL game. It was a close and hard fought match up with the home team winning. Matt Calvert took a slap shot to the face, got 30+ stitches, came back to finish playing the game, and scored the game winning goal, which was a short-handed one to boot!! WOW. Perhaps just as exciting, at least for a pilot, was that we happened to luck out beautifully on timing of the weather. A low front was coming through so we got 30+ knot tail winds on the way to Columbus, AND the way home too!! Was so awesome doing over 200kts round trip.
Lucy and Max played so well together and had a great time. We all went to an indoor arcade type of place that had a huge climbing/slides/ball pit area for the kids and let them run around and wear themselves out.
