The Abbotsford Airshow - an Amazing Experience

When I was a little girl, my parents took me to the Abbotsford Airshow. I will never forget the excitement I felt standing in a HUGE cargo plane - the nose of the plane even OPENED. Living a few hours from the border of British Columbia, we did a quick, fun, weekend family road trip. 

My son is fascinated by aviation and loves flying, so I knew we had to take him to the show. It blew his mind - seeing the military planes up close, including the newer version of that same cargo plane I stood in when I was little. He had the chance speak to the F-22 pilot, which was the biggest highlight of his trip.

They also had a STEM area where they had a lot of different activities, but my son's favorite was, by far, the flight simulator. *Proud Mamma moment here* The person helping said he was a natural. 

I’m still fascinated by the power and size of the airplanes, but, ultimately, my favorite part of the trip was watching my son watch the air show with amazement.

Next stop on this crazy adventure called life…Minnesota!
