Bon Voyage, Peanut!

My littlest brother, Peanut, graduated from high school last week and is now on his first solo flight... all the way to Germany. Inspired from his departure, I thought I post a eight step guide for departing on your first solo flight (paparazzi style).

Step #1: Say Goodbye to those you love...
















Step #2: Check to see if you have all your valuables. aka: Track down the postman with your European cell phone...









Step #3: Pack your fragile items with care...













Step #4: Make sure you have all your paperwork...











Step #5: Get some fatherly advice...











Step #6 (thanks to Caribou Coffee): Be a Hero minus the dorky cape (otherwise known as, give your sister a hard time so that she misses you...)
















Step #7: Leave without looking back (so you can't see Mom crying)...











Step #8: Don't forget to send postcards back to those who love & miss you...
















All joking aside... I love you, Peanut! Have an awesome time! I can't wait to hear about all your adventures!
