We flew from Lakefront Airport in New Orleans to Poplarville, Mississippi this morning so Scott could log some cross country time. It was a beautiful day to fly, sunny and little wind.

Takeoff...
Mardis Gras floats crossing the Twinspan bridge by our apartment. They were travelling away from New Orleans, so we're not sure where they were going.

This is a picture of the Causeway, which is in the Guiness World Book of Records as the longest bridge. It stretches from the south shore of lake Pontchartrain, which is New Orleans, to the north shore which is the Mandeville/Covington area. It's about 24 miles long, and looked like a little white hair from the air, but it didn't come across very visible in the picture. At all.

We were just saying the other day: "We used to have a pilot at our beck and call - boy, times have changed!" Looks like fun - and A LOT warmer than what we're dealing with!
What a wonderful day you must have had. It was sooooooo cold here Sunday, we stayed in all day. Great pictures.
