Memorial Day Mini Golf


We stole Sarah and Ryan for the day while Mom made preparations for their summer trip.  Golfland was busy, but not too bad and the weather cooperated.


One of the balls got stuck and we had to fish it out




And yes, I really posed for this picture :)

Anniversary Adventures - Pima Air & Space Museum

Yesterday, Justus and I celebrated our anniversary by going down to the Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson, Arizona.  Justus was in heaven as we walked up and down the rows and rows of aircraft.  If you didn't already know, Justus is a huge fan of airplanes.  He knows all sorts of facts, stories, and tid-bits about each model.

Our wedding reception was at the Arizona Wing of the Commemorative Air Force Museum at Falcon Field.  It was great to celebrate our anniversary with aircraft.

We even had the chance to take pictures for the Neil Young tribute band, The Neil Deal.  An awesome group of guys, who were sooo nice.



We also took advantage of the cut-outs for the kids.





We even found a plane with our anniversary as its number.




Justus found a plane he had not seen in person, the English Electric Lightning and demanded that I take his picture with it.



I also learned more about flight including the terms for pivot, yaw, and roll.  I practiced on a few simulators.  You can see me shooting down some enemy in the below shot.  The puckering was from making "shooting" sounds.


Justus got to "fly" as well.  



I took so many shots of aircraft and I am excited to go through them!  There were a lot of cool art / graphics that were inspirational.



The most inspirational was finding my favorite air-craft, the P-51 Mustang.  Can you see the excitement in my face!  It was a great day!
