Oh Pottery Barn, Oh Williams Sonoma!



Do you know whose been flying your plane???

We go to church with a man who, in military terms, is the equivalent of the head maintenance officer for Williams Sonoma/Pottery Barn Aviation Department. He and Jake have always had a lot to talk about because of their connections to flight/planes. Anyway, Jake was offered the chance to bring the kids and come aboard the private jet for a flight. So, of course we took the chance. I took the littles and headed over to the home of the said maintenance officer to be with his wife, while Jake, Colby, Benjamin, and Louisa went to the airport. Am I making sense? They took off and Jake actually got to fly the fancy jet up around 46,000 feet. Guess who else got to fly and nearly jerked the thing off auto-pilot? I'm sure you can see by the picture above. I mean, I hear it's hard to resist when a little girl ascends the cockpit and says, "Do little gewrls get to fly planes?"

I know you're all hoping for me to tell you about the interior of the jet. It's million dollar decorating from what I gather and the plane travels with it's own chef. So, when the CEO must be on the road, they don't have to eat out, they can just eat on the plane. There's a bed and a bar I'm sure. The kids were told to keep their feet off the seats...

Notice Louisa's feet. Oops!
