It is still swim season, band begins this evening, and Andrew's middle school football coaching (have I mentioned that?) begins officially in two weeks. Yep folks, we still have a schedule. Especially with Robert's works schedule, my job responsibilities, and volunteer obligations. We try though, to squeeze in one day a week for some real family fun. Yesterday was a trip to the United States Air Force Museum. I grew up going there rather frequently as a child given the location and proximity to my home town. Andrew and his parents took the kids three years ago but I couldn't go...so it's been a while for me. Recently though, they've opened the "fourth hangar" and Andrew couldn't wait to see it. I hadn't realized that the retired Air Force One planes are there, dating all the way back to Franklin Roosevelt. I enjoyed that part the most.
I was grateful that Andrew didn't necessarily wish to see absolutely everything. Most of the things have been there since my childhood and I don't need to see them again. However, the Doolittle Raiders display is more recent than my last visit and I enjoyed seeing that as well. The best part was dinner. Andrew took us downtown and we ate at the pub that serves pub fries that just make my mouth water. For Thomas and I they are our favorites.
We were exhausted when we got home and Andrew and I couldn't wait to take a nap. I didn't sleep long, because, well, I'm a mom. But a few minutes sure felt good before swim practice last evening!
Hoping we have an opportunity to make a few more memories this summer!
