KBWI to KPBI SWA flt #171

So I took my SWA 737-7H4 and loaded up at gate B13 in Baltimore. BWI grd was on so I called for clearance and he gave me the terpz1 departure and rwy 28 for departure. I taxied to rwy 28 where I switched over to Patomac Departure who cleared me for takeoff. After I got up and PD gave me radar contact he wanted to know if I wanted to fly FL360 as traffic was reporting turbulence so I chenged my plan to 380. He cleared me to 380 and I began to climb. after about 2 mins he called me back and told me 380 was bumpy to so I changed the plan again and requested FL400. I climbed up to 400 and it was really bumpy through 392. Also Air Force one was checking out to New York center as we climbed. After that it was uneventful until I descended into miami airspace. Center was on so I checked in and he gave me vectors for rwy 10. I wanted to come in from the east over the water so I asked for 28R and he vectored me around. I called the field in sight and descended over the threshhold of the runway and made a very bumpy landing onto the runway. First flight is done and in the books of this adventure.
