Take Off and Touch Down

Dean has become fascinated with airplanes. With the airport so close there is always a plane flying and Dean is quick to point it out to us. Dean typically waives at the plane saying, “bye, bye” and then says, “uh oh” when it’s out of sight.

I thought it would be fun to take him to the Dallas equivalent of Houston’s Lee Road – in the daylight, minus all the parking and making out. Matt did a little research and learned that DFW has Founders Plaza, a special designated area for watching planes take off and touch down.

Dean was mesmerized by the planes and enjoyed watching each one pass right in front of us as it made it’s decent upon the runway. He also loved the high pitched squeal of the engines as they geared up for take off. I look forward to taking him on another plane ride so that he can have the insiders experience. Until then!
