Buscho Family: Leavin' on a Jet Plane

Here are some photos from our plane trip up to Seattle (to sight-see for a few days with Uncle Johnny before our cruise). These are from Uncle Johnny's camera, which explains how many there are--although this is just a select few from the 100+ he took while we were at the airport and on the plane. Before the trip we got Gianna her own suitcase so she could be just like all of the grown-ups (thanks Smith Family for the idea). Gianna loved rolling her suitcase through the airport and down the Jetway. I took video of this, but I have to get it off of my video camera, then I will post it on here.

Walking to our Terminal...I think Gianna loved all of the attention she was getting from strangers.

I think that this is Uncle Johnny's favorite picture. Gianna wore the shirt her brought her from Minneapolis for the trip, and this photo shows it off. Plus she looks like she is looking at the flight info board or something. She is so grown up!

Okay, the next 2 pictures may look like nothing, but they are Gianna waiting in the elevator and I couldn't stop cracking up because she walked in, turned around to face the door and put her suitcase in a way that she could lean on it like this. Then she helped Mommy push the button and patiently watched the numbers change on the elevator and walked straight out of the door with no problems when we arrived at our terminal. She is such an old pro!

Gianna loved making airplane noises and watching our plane get loaded (and other planes taking off) while we waited for our flight.

They called our seating group, time to head down the Jetway.

We found our seats (and there is an empty one in our row)! Gianna got her own seat for the whole flight.

"Uncle Johnny, you crack me up!"

Gianna loved getting this animal book (and making the noises) during our flight.

Beverage service. Gianna asked for apple juice :)

Back from our walk (and enjoying a snack).

We flew on Virgin America and we loved it! It could be because the flight wasn't full so Gianna got her own seat, or it could have been the individual TV screens and very warm flight crew (or even the good snacks and presents). We had our best flight ever, by far. I joked with Justin afterwards that I only want to go on trips to places that Virgin America flies...that is just how much better it was than any other flight we have attempted with Gianna. Here is a special moment that we shared towards the end of the flight (when Gianna is usually getting restless) to prove how relaxed and happy we all are.
