32000 ft. high

Well, here we are at our cruising altitude of 32000 ft. This is the first time I've been in an airplane offering wi-fi! Just had to see if it really works!
All three of us have been awake since about 3:30am. Not that we're anxious or anything. Dar served us some breakfast, Joe took us to the airport, we made it through the lines (I learned that you have to take your laptops out of their cases and lay them flat to go through the scanner), and we had about thirty minutes at our gate before they started boarding. It was raining lightly in Denver. I wondered what it felt like to be the pilot flying through the clouds and not being able to see anything. Once we were above the clouds (and bumps), it was neat to look down on the clouds from above. They seem to have so much more "substance" from above. Makes me want to reach out and touch them because they look so much more solid. We could see the mountains for a little while, but now we have more clouds under us..smooth and soft looking. It's supposed to be clear in Seattle and about 76 degrees.

We're sitting all together on the very back row. Because of that, there's no leaning our seats back. Aunt Colene says that we certainly don't have to travel far to get to the bathrooms. I'm blessed that my traveling companions are "glass half full kind" of people instead of the "half empty' kind!
