Jones Beach Air Show

Hope you had a happy Memorial Day weekend, we sure did. The first thing we did was to jump with joy to get to spend some time with Daddy. He has been working non stop since we got home from our trip out West . I mean, I have not seen him. We are passing ships in the night or day. I can't tell because they all blur into one. Such is life. We seriously live for the weekends and holidays that he is off. Since he has been working so much, I wanted to do something for the holiday weekend I knew that he would really enjoy. Thank goodness for great friends with fabulous ideas. There was a lot of talk about people going to see the airshow at Jones Beach. Knowing my husband like I do, I knew that he would be totally up for some air planes. We didn't make it to the flight museum when we were in Seattle , so this made up for that big time. Neither of us had been to an air show before so didn't really know what to expect. Planes flying and doing tricks. That is pretty much what it

We made our trip out West pretty epic by continuing it all the way to Seattle. My sister and her husband moved there about a year ago and we decided to make it a real family vacation and go visit them. Neither Lyndon or I have ever been to Wasthington state (that we can remember. Lyndon lived there as a child for a summer when he was little. He talks about the blackberries they ate, that's all he remembers). It was exciting to check out a new part of the country and visit with my sissy. I have missed her so much. Our first place to chekc off on our trip was Pike Place Market. It is one of the largest markets in America with all sorts of shops, mostly food, but you could pretty much find anything you wanted. We especially loved Elleno's Real Greek Yogurt. Just regular Greek yogurt that was dressed up. It was yum! We got our photo with Rachel the pig. She is the market's mascot. It was a lot of fun! We stayed around to watch them toss the fish back and forth. You
