Default For any of you Pilots

Well I was taking a cross country flight with my dad today. It took along time for the weather to clear. So when it cleared up enough for a VFR flight I decided it was ok to go. So I get my weather briefing and everything sounded good. The flight was from my home airport in Rochester NY to a airport about 70 miles away down on the PA border. Everything was goin fine until I got about 6 miles from the airport. I had already contacted the control tower and had my clearance to land. Then all the sudden it seeemed like it turned to nightime the ceiling dropped about 3 thousand feet and i couldent see a thing. Being that I am not an Instrument pilot I decided that it would be best to turn around. After finnaly getting out of the "soup" I knew that I had made the right decision. All the training had come in handy. Made it back safe, but it was quite the experiance. I attached some pics of me and the airplane that my dad took today. The 2nd is Rochester International Airport which is my home airport. The last pic is of a FedEx a310 landing as I was on final approach. I think some of you are interested in aviation so I thought I would share this with you.
