Max had been talking about it for months; his first ride in an airplane to visit Uncle Ben. The day had finally arrived. We packed our allotted suitcases to the brim, loaded the laptop with every Pixar movie we could, and attempted (and failed) to fill Max with Benedryl.
Max was extremely well behaved the entire flight. He watched his videos, ate his snacks, and was still full of energy when we landed in Mesa. Uncle Ben picked us up at the airport, posed with Max for a quick blurry picture, and we headed off to Ben and Angie's awesome place in Chandler.
