SLV fly-over

A co-worker of Bill's is a pilot and has an airplane. He invited us to go up and fly over the San Luis Valley. It was a clear and calm morning, a perfect day to catch some air.
We took off from the Alamosa air field and headed south and east, then turned back north and flew next to Mt. Blanca and over the Sand Dunes before flying over Alamosa and back to the air field. It is interesting to fly over the San Luis Valley and see the geography...mountains, rivers, ponds, crop circles, etc. Jamie thought it was really cool and had fun playing with the headset. Next time, we'll take his car seat which will lift him up so that he'll be able to see better out of the window.
