Come Fly With Me

Moving large quantities of Ern's books to and from the library is a large part of our life. 

I think this is objectively the cutest kid on planet earth.

We suddenly realized it had been a few days since we've been on a plane so we booked a ticket and rushed to the airport before the horror of being stationary had a chance to take hold.

The difference between my childhood and Ernie's never cease to amaze and amuse me. I probably hadn't been in an airport lounge until I was 35.

Turkish Airlines gave our boy a little kid's welcome pack thing contained in an awesome backpack with friggin' airplane wings!

Whoa

The in-flight entertainment system made me an offer I couldn't refuse.

I appreciate it when you get a paper menu in economy class. It says "we know you're poor but we still imagine you can read".

The future is now.

No thank you!

Round and round our airplane goes. Where it stops? No one knows.

Santas Doing Too Much

Today we took Big Ern to the Seattle Aquarium to see Diving Santa.

He was understandably a bit weirded out. Ernie doesn't meet a lot of underwater people.

We had a little lunch at Premier Meat Pies nearby on the pier.

At Zoe's place we did a little prepartying and got our Santa suits on for Seattle SantaCon. Miriam helped me get these boot cover things over my shoes. So nice of her.

It was a lot of fun bar crawling around Pioneer Square. I had a sack full of candy canes and I had a good time passing them out to strangers.

My relationship with Xtadium is funny because I have never, nor likely will ever, enter this club dressed like a normal person.

Sometimes with these bar crawls I wonder what the value add is, like could I just go to the same bars without paying to be officially part of the thing. This one at least had a photographer that got a few good shots of us.
