$100 Ice Cream Cone

Posted by Dave Minor Mon, 27 Mar 2006 16:27:52 GMT

In the flying community, there is a term known as “the $100 hamburger” which references the cost to load some folks into an airplane and fly somewhere for a meal.

Last week was spring break and it rained most of the week. The kids played pretty well inside most of the week although my nerves were getting pretty sparse by the end of the week.

On Friday, the sun was out, the wind was fairly calm and we got an urge for an ice cream cone. Not just any ice cream would do though. We needed some Braum’s. So we took our first family flying trip to get some.

The closest Braum’s to us is in Poteau, OK which is a one hour flight takeoff to landing. I was most concerned about Kyle would deal with the noise, but he did fine. Slept on the way there and smiled all the way home.

BTW, this was my second Braum’s experience this month without having to drive hours to get it.

I was remiss in not getting any pictures of us at Braum’s. Here are a couple of shots of some of the family in the plane.
