Fritz's BIG Adventure ~


You probably recall me bragging telling you that my DSO Fritz built an airplane..  It took about 2 years and finally took to the skies last fall.  (Watching his first flight was SO scary!)



Here he is last Tuesday morning getting ready to set off on his BIG ADVENTURE.  His goal is to fly from Ohio to Petaluma, CA to visit his younger son Matt, by way of Phoenix, AZ.  Yesterday he reached the first part of his goal.  He is spending a couple days with a childhood friend in Phoenix before heading to Petaluma. 

 


Do I worry about him?  You betcha, but I am so proud of what he is accomplishing.  He says it's the adventure of a lifetime and I am so happy he is able to do it!  Oh, and today's his birthday.  Happy birthday, Fritz!!! 
Pug hugs :)

    Happy Birthday Fritz and enjoy the fruit of your labor. Get to your destination and back home safely.

    Lauren, you have every right to be proud of Fritz's accomplishment. Not everyone get to see their dream come to reality. Hugs to both of you. JB

    Hi Lauren,
    I am a couple of days late here in my blogging comments! I wish to wish Fritz a belated Happy B-day and all the best on his adventure! That little plane is a honey of an accomplishment and I can see why you are so proud of him! Living our dreams is something I think only a few actually ever accomplish!
    Hugs!
