Flights 15 and 16

Today we flew from MBS to DTW and from DTW to PHL. These were baby's 15th and 16th flights and he did great. The Midland/Bay City/Saginaw airport is awesome to fly into or out of. It only serves two airlines (United and Delta) and accordingly only has two ticket counters, two jet bridges, and two baggage claims. It only has one security line and x-ray machine. No body scanners here. It's the way flying should be.

The flight to Detroit was short and sweet. We were at the Detroit airport long enough to switch planes and go to the bathroom before our flight to Philadelphia took off. We flew on a 737-800 and it was less than half full. It was a newer plane too, so the wife and I played In-Flight Trivia on the headrest TV displays. I beat her 2 games to 1. Baby slept pretty much the whole flight and the hardened businessmen in the seats around us were very impressed with him. They admitted to us that when they saw us board with him they were less than excited to sit near us, having experienced flying babies in the past. Our baby though was a joy to fly with.

We couldn't agree more.
