My flight to Chicago

I guess I will blog about my flight to Vermont. Here are some pictures from the first part of the flight from Sacramento to Chicago. I didn't get a window seat from Chicago to Burlington, so there are no pictures from that flight. But two funny thing happened on that flight to blog about. One was there were these 3 buisness men, dressed up, financial whiz nicely dressed Richard Jones type of guys sitting in front of me. Actually, one of their wives was sitting next to me across the aisle, her husband in front of her, his co worker in front of him, and the other co worker across from that guy. The flight begins and the one in front of his wife pulls out a Game Boy, his was black, but then he pulls out a pink one from his bag, gives it to one of his friends. The other guy gets out his own white one....and they start playing some kind of racing game....looked like the one guy was some sort of gorilla on a motorcycle, couldn't tell what the others were, but it was definitely a childs game. They played THE WHOLE ENTIRE flight, right up until the flight crew said to put away all toys. They laughed (loudly) they cheered, they were REALLY into it. It was pretty funny. The wife was pretty embarrassed. HAHA. The other thing that happened on the flight, wasn't really funny, but I sat next to a soccer fan, so we talked for a LONG time about soccer. His neice is playing on a full ride scholarship to Denver University...first of all- I've never heard of that school, Gina, does it really exist? And can schools really offer full ride scholarships to women soccer players? If she was as good as he was telling me, wouldn't she go to North Carolina or UCLA? He said that every year since she was 14 she won the 3 v 3 tournament in Orlando....OK....and he said that he is taking her to Manchester United Soccer School this spring in England. Yeah, he must be so rich, that's why he was flying coach. I don't know if there is even such thing as a 3 v 3 tournament in Orlando???? how can you play soccer with 3 people....and is there really a Manchester United soccer SCHOOL??? Yeah, I don't know...haha. I think he was just trying to top my stories of how good Melanee is. Probably!!!!

These following pictures go with my first flight. ---OK, I was so thrilled at what we flew over on the way out of California!!! This is LAKE TAHOE. I can tell by Emerald Bay. Also, see that snow covered mountain....that's the one William went up during cross country camp at Fallen Leaf lake....one of the little 2 lakes is Fallen Leaf Lake, which one dad???

Here is a bigger picture of Lake Tahoe. It was so cool to see from the air. It's our family's FAVORITE vacation spot EVER. This summer we even drove around the whole lake.

Coolest clouds ever!

Over Illinois somewhere...but I loved to see the farmland, all the squares and circles...really neat.

I love looking out the window. This is the Chicago airport.

Chicago in the distance.

The shore along one of the great lakes. So spectacular from the air.

I'll only post a few of these, but I loved seeing the plane's shadow......(and notice the soccer fields below)

The shadow again.

O'Hare International Airport is HUGE. I had to take a shuttle bus from one terminal to another.
