David and I had set up a lunch some weeks ago but it didn’t work out. However, yesterday, the 9th of October, we were able to get together. We met at Adrian’s at the Airport in the new dining room. Cynthia is certainly growing and she is becoming really pretty.<\/p>\n We had a great lunch and I had a chance to talk to Jim, the owner, about having a Christmas Party there this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n While I was talking with Cynthia the subject of airplanes came up and she expressed an interest in them. That caught me by surprise. I had no idea that aviation was a thing for her. So I asked if she would like to drop by the aviation museum which was right next door at the Langley Airport. She jumped at the suggestion. So after lunch we went over to the Museum of Flight for an hour.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flynngraphics.ca\/family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Cynthia-with-Dad.jpg” title_text=”Cynthia-with-Dad” show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” box_shadow_style=”preset2″ box_shadow_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.62)” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-16px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Cynthia is standing with her father, David, in the yard of the Museum of Flight.

You can walk around the aircraft, touch them, climb into many of them. In a way, it is better than a larger museum where you must keep your distance.<\/p>\n We walked through every display and examined every plane in the yard. If it was possible to get into one of the planes Cynthia did it. It really held her interest and on the way out she was into the gift shop to find a souvenir.<\/p>\n I had to leave before Dave and Cynthia because I had set up a visit with my sister Ann so I left them in the gift shop.<\/p>\n I didn’t know Cynthia was interested in aviation. I guess it runs in the family. Who knows!
