We went to the Long Beach Airport for a field trip with our ISP group. What a neat place. The airport has a 1930's art deco feel to it, totally cool. The nice thing is, is that the airport has historical status, so the design will never change. The tour is great, very informative. We started off with a demonstration of the fire trucks, and wow, they can shoot water very high, and very far. They are mostly on call. Thankfully there are not too many fires at the airport.
The firefighters were all super nice, I think that's a prerequesite for firefighters don't you? After their demonstration, they gathered all of the kids together for a group photo. I told Harrison to go up front, and one firefighter leaned down and picked Harrison up and put him on his shoulders for the photo. I love that he is oh so casual with his hands in his pockets.
We then got a tour of the tarmac and walked over to the terminal where we got some airport history. After that, we headed up to the observation deck to watch some planes land and take off. This is what the boys thought about that:
And thank you to the very kind rental car attendant that didn't think it was odd for me to ask her to take our picture. The reason the sign is partially covered is because there was a film crew there filming a movie out front.
At dinner tonight, I asked the boys what their favorite part of the airport tour was. Harrison told me he loved to see the planes taking off and landing. Charlie told me that his favorite part was seeing the luggage. :D If that's not a four year old for you then I don't know what is!
