This Valentine's Day Dave took me out for a ride – in a plane!!  We had a great time.  We really wanted to fly over our house, but we couldn't go east at all because there were very strict rules this weekend… Obama was in Chicago with the family so no one can fly anywhere near the city, not even over our house that's not too far from our airport!  Oh well, we'll just have to go another day!  Dave taxied the plane and flew it once we were up.  There were strong cross winds, so the instructor took off and landed.
