Friday Photo - Leaving on a Jet Plane

I've been having a little fun over the past few Fridays with some blast-from-the-past travel and camping photos.  Here's one more, just to get you in the mood in case you are off on a late summer getaway (you can see the others herehere and here).
We are all dressed in matching outfits yet again - you would have thought we could sing like the Von Trapps or something.  Anyway we are on our way home from Nigeria where we lived for 2 years.  I was 7 in this photo, and my brothers 9 and 5 years old.   I love how we dressed up in those days just to take an airline flight.

  1. Grace, we have so many airport pictures from my childhood- and we were always dressed up! Now you're liable to see pajamas in the airport! LOL

  3. People use to always dress up to fly. Now they just wear whatever. I love the matching outfits and your brother's little shorts! Have a great weekend.

  4. That is a hoot! Traveling used to be such a big deal and dressing up was the norm. Made it special. Oh how times have changed. Your brothers shorts are cracking me up!

  5. A trip like that was a big deal. Not everybody could afford to fly even across the country let alone all the way around the world. Great picture.

  6. Love this photo... I have one of my parents boarding a plane back in the early 70's. They were dressed up too! Will have to see if I can dig it out of my photo archives and post it.
