Mom and Bray's first flight!

You may not know, but my mom has not been on an airplane since 1980! After 2 back to back "rough flights" mom vowed to never fly again. Well as Justin Bieber says "Never Say Never". On February 20th, Mom, David, Braylon, Debbie, Rod, and Quisha all jumped on Southwest Airlines, bound for a play day in VEGAS. Mom did great! As we entered the plane, I told the two pilots about mom "taking the plunge" they were so excited for her, they invited her in the cockpit to visit with them. It was great, they assured her that they had things under control and they would do their best for a "bumpy free flight". Well, they kept with their word, other than a few short bumps during our Vegas decent, we landed. Braylon did great and only cried out a few times. We had a great time in Vegas, of course partaking in a tasty brunch at the MGM buffet. We walked the calories off during the day seeing the sights. Our flight home that night was seamless, which made mom a happy girl. She had a great start at getting over her fear and we are all so proud of her. We will put her to the test again as we take up Honolulu to visit Candice and the twins in May. We cannot wait!
