As part of our whirlwind Memorial Day weekend, Ryan and I decided to spend the day in Traverse City after the music festival.  Half because it’s awesome, and half because it was practical, and a little bit of needing cross-country flight hours for his next rating, Ryan decided to fly.  So, we got up early, put the dog in the car, and drove to the airport.  I texted my parents that we’d be there mid-morning, and that was that.  We flew into the Traverse City airport, my parents picked us up, and we had a magical day.  Then in the evening, after a delicious BBQ chicken dinner fitting of Memorial Day, we took off for home.  The flight was quick and easy, and Ruby did awesome in the plane – I even caught her looking out the window.
