What's better than baking chocolate chip cookies with your daughter? Flying her to lunch, of course!
With great flying weather, how could we spend a Saturday at home. I have long wanted to fly into Cedar Key and Diana loves seafood so off we went.
9:15am - We were airborne on the 205 nm journey. I let her choose the music on the XM radio. Now, I love flying at 5500ft and 140kts GS through the skies of the southeast, but listening to today's "hits" just doesn't fit the moment. Anything to keep my passenger happy, I guess. Besides, I get to play DJ on the way back.
10:30ish - We were in the pattern for CDK. After making our position reports we were asked if we needed a ride into town. Nice. The temps were approaching 90 but the winds were calm which made for a nice landing. We loaded up into the waiting car ($5 each) for the short ride into town.
Diana and I did a little sightseeing at the waterfront, then went to Ann's for seafood. We split a seafood platter which consisted of scallops, shrimp, grouper, clams, and crab cakes. I also had a really nice Greek salad and Diana had some crab bisque. Very tasty!
After lunch, we went to a gift shop because we could not return empty handed. I usually loathe gift shop prices but these were actually reasonable and we bought a few souvenirs.
1:00pm We called for our ride back to the airport. Next time I leave my plane somewhere hot, I will have to put the canopy cover on. The seatbelt buckles were searing hot and my chapstick was melted. Anyway, we were soon on our way home with Diana sleeping and me listening to the XM 70s and classic rock channels.
