Air Force One


Well we went to Pittsburgh with Daddy so we could hopefully get an Air Force One tour....and we did. Brian is an advance agent for AF-1. He travels to sites the president will be visiting to help prepare for AF-1 arrival.
It was a great experience. Obama was speaking in Ohio so he came into Pitt on Marine 1 to the Airport. We watched all 5 choppers come in. Then the big jet came in empty, we toured it, watched the president depart on the jet, and we were super close to all the craziness that goes on. It was amazing.

Bryce will never know how lucky he was to crawl around the presidential office, bedroom, and down his hallway...all with a dirty diaper that happened soon after the tour started. GREAT :) He also would have really liked to push all those buttons in the cockpit....lots of struggling went on and he didn't get any....but did manage to make a phone ring somewhere in the back of the airplane.


So this picture is just of us...nothing exciting ...bc Bryce was crawling out of our arms or screaming in all the other ones. In his defense we showed up at 11:00-4:00 and this kid won't sleep unless he is in his bed. He didn't even fall asleep on the 40 min car ride home!

Here comes the President!

AF1 arrives

Family shot after our tour...can't you tell that Bryce loved every minute of it!

Obama arrives to depart....see Brian next to the stairs :)

Waving to us!

For some reason, I'm having difficulty reading the words of your blog on my computer, but from the pictures it looks like you all had a wonderfully fabulous time over the past couple of months! Glad to get on here and "catch up" with you all!
