¶Teddy was up early this morning, so we left on our walk a little earlier than usual. We saw the sunrise, which was nice. Now we’re back and enjoying a coffee on the patio before heading out for breakfast. Teddy is vigilantly watching everything and everybody.

¶Jake’s leaving for home tomorrow, so, of course, we had to have breakfast at Albert Whitted airport in St. Pete this morning! It was a beautiful day for it, too. Perfect weather, and the airport had decent activity for us to watch. Great morning.

¶Jake’s dream plane is the Bonanza. It would be my choice, too…if I was a pilot and if I was in the market for a plane! We watched this one on the ramp right below our table all the way through takeoff. He gave a nice wing wave on the way out, too. Beautiful plane.

¶We also got to see this 1941 Stearman Army Biplane take off. It’s slow, but very cool. This one is used for aerial tours of St. Pete, which can apparenty include an acrobatics option.

¶We noticed a couple new murals at the airport, too. This one is on the outside of a hangar that faces the parking lot for the restaurant. It’s big and bold, and quite impressive! I noticed Jonathan noticing it as we headed to the car after breakfast. I love this photo.
