Day 342


Today Rick and I flew to Seattle for my cousin Molly's wedding.  As we were coming in to land in Seattle the pilot suddenly zoomed off and started circling around.  Rick told me that was weird and something must be wrong.  Sure enough, the pilot came on the speaker a few seconds later and announced that the plane's flaps were 'indicating' or something like that and that we were having to loop around so we could land on a longer run way.  We landed super hard and fast and when we turned off of the run way we saw about 4 firetrucks and an ambulance were escorting the plane to the gate.  Scary!  Rick said it wasn't a big deal and they probably had to declare an emergency just in case something happened.

So that was our exciting arrival in Seattle.
