Holiday Weekend

What a great weekend! Mom and Dad Lebbon came down to visit and we had so much fun. Friday night, we all headed to Dorothy Lane Market to pick out dinner. Mom chose a prosciutto & provolone stuffed chicken breast and the rest of us got steaks. We also picked up a Thai Cucumber Salad and some Artisan bread to dip in olive oil and dipping spices. We just hung out on the deck grilling and eating and laughing. It was great.


Saturday morning, we got up early and headed to the National Air Force Museum at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. We wanted to be there when they opened so we could sign up for the Presidential Tour. This tour is a first come first served tour of all of the Air Force One planes they have. They are in a different hanger on the base. We saw the Independence, which FDR rode on, just once.

We also saw the plane to first have the call sign "Air Force One." It is the one that brought President Kennedy's body back from Dallas.

It was a long day and so we had an easy evening of playing cards and then watching the fireworks from the front yard. It was really great having them come visit. It will probably be the last time I get a chance to hang out with them until after the move to KC. We will see eachother again in December in the Bahamas.
