I reciently celebrated my (ahem) 30th birthday, and in honor of the occasion we decided to get out of Dodge for the weekend. And to illustrate that I am totally ok with my geeky-ness and that I trust that you all will love me in spite of it, I will actually share with you what we did.We went down to Dayton to the National Air Force Museum at Wright Patterson AFB. The museum is huge, I mean really huge. Three giant hangers (something like 200,000 square feet each) and over 300 aircraft on display, plus lots of related artifacts. We spent almost 5 hours there and while we saw pretty much everything, we didn’t stop to read all t
he signs/exhibits, etc. I think it could be a couple day project to get through it all.

Ike rudely interrupted our plans, so we left early. Whoever heard of a tropical storm in Ohio? Craziness.
Crazy weather notwithstanding, it was so nice to get out of town!

Urgh. Sorry about the formatting. I am still learning how to blog properly!
Happy belated birthday!!!
I can't believe it took me this long to catch up on your blog. I love the Air Museum at Wright Patt. I am such an aviation nerd since working for the Navy and every time I travel to Dayton I drag my little cousin there. Always a good time.
A Renn Faire on the other hand-I've prayed for rain every year I've signed up with my friends to go. A little too much of the "weird people" variety.
