Weekend with the Grandkids
We drove to Ohio this weekend to spend some time with Chris, Anika and Wesley. We arrived around 11:00 am on Saturday and went to the Air Force Museum where we toured many of the exhibits on display. It’s a history of aircraft from the first Wright Brothers plane to modern aircraft. There was a LOT to see!
There was also a lot of history of the wars in which aircraft were used and much about foreign aircraft as well as American. All of that was very interesting! The kids seemed to enjoy it as well. Ani was intrigued by the clothing worn by the airmen in the early days and had a lot of questions about it. Wesley was just fascinated by the planes themselves and the designs that were painted on them.
We met Chris’ girlfriend/fiance for the first time. Sammi is a sweet girl and it was obvious the kids adored her. Ken and I liked her a lot too.
On the way back to SC, we made a side trip in Tennessee to visit Ma. She was in good spirit s and seemed to be pleased that we stopped in. It was great seeing her and I really need to go see her more often.
The drive home was uneventful and we arrived around 5 pm tired but happy with the trip. The dogs and birds were happy to see us and greeted us like we had been gone a month instead of just two days.
