South Carolina Airshow

Ben is a Lt. Colonel in the Air Force Reserves. This weekend there is a big airshow planned. However, today there was a special show just for the miltary families & friends. We got to tour around the grounds & look at some pretty impressive planes up close & personal. We also were able to sit in the VIP tent, eat lunch & watch the demonstrations, which included seeing four helicopters perform close formation manuvers, aerobatic airplanes &, most impressively, an F-16. We needed ear plugs for the F-16!

It was hot, though; low 90s. It was nice getting back into the air conditioning afterwards. More people arrive tonight...& pizza for supper!

Southern Comfort Tour 2009!

Well, another autumn, another trip!

We left on Wednesday, finalizing our packing of the RV between torrential downpours. We got ourselves down to southern NJ, dry-docking at a Camping World. Thursday we spent the entire day driving the rest of the way down to Columbia, SC, to the Lovejoys' house.

We were fed bbq & slaw & sweet tea - welcome to the South!

Time to start the vacation...
