So a couple of weeks ago, Dad took Officer Rob Peterson up on his offer of a behind the scenes tour of the new terminal at the RDU airport. We were able to invite several other dads and kids along with us including Tim and Ty, John and Johnny, Fred and Jenna, and Joe Shields and Ian, Reilly, Conor and Keegan. We were quite a crowd! The boys were really excited. The tour started with a tour of the police office which centered on the K-9 bomb detecting dog, Trouble. Trouble showed off by sniffing out a bag of gun powder that one of the officers had hidden in the office. The boys all got coloring books about being a police officer and also sticker "badges." Jackson wore his badge for at least 3-4 days after the tour. Conor asked the officers if they had in plastic guns we could have as well!
Anyway...the kids really enjoyed the whole tour which also included the baggage area, being out with the planes, meeting a pilot, hearing the loud planes, and even getting to climb around in the front seat of the police car before Officer Rob had to race off on a call (which I later learned was about some guy trying to hunt illegally on the airport property!). Oh, and we also ran over to Dairy Queen and shared a blizzard before we went our separate ways.
