When I mentioned to Bob that we were going to the Air Force Museum he said that they might have one of these, and he has always wanted to see one. He is an aviation geek, he was flying airplanes before he had a drivers license. Only a handful of these were built near the end of World War II, and there are two of them in the museum. I texted him photos of them.
Another rarity, from the end of World War II.
When I checked into the hotel in Dayton, there was a gift of chocolates and a card waiting, from a blogger.
Bears always want to be included in the picnic.
We had a free day in Ft Wayne Indiana, I planned too many days there, so we went to the Zoo. It is a surprisingly nice zoo. A great Africa section. I saw these two, and emailed the photo to our favorite giraffe lover.
Not the best Scotch Eggs, but good. I sent a photo to John at Going Gently, our dear Scotch Egg aficionado.
A clean car is a happy car.
Here comes the Groom and Groomsmen
Lake Michigan in the distance.
It was a long trip, two weeks, five stops, six hotels. A diversion. It was nice to get away. It is delightful to be home for a few days.
I hand it to you. When I travel, I can't hotel hop and get in and out of suitcases that much. One reason I stay put for so long. I set up house when I get to a location, lol!!!!! This post at first confused me. Between the ads in the middle of the post and pictures I wasn't sure which was which at first, LMAO!
ReplyDeleteWe try to avoid one night stands, only staying one night in a hotel. There were a couple of those in this adventure.
DeleteWhat fun, and I remember us making and deep frying Scotch eggs in the 80s. I wouldn't mind one now. Sydney's Taronga Zoo is on a very steep hill, which means you can be at face level with giraffes.
ReplyDeleteZoo design has come a lone way in the past 50 years.
DeleteTo be a successful giraffe lover, I expect you need a ladder.
ReplyDeleteOr a high platform.
DeleteWe went to an aviation museum in McMinnville Oregon; got to see the Spruce Goose which was cool, amongst other things.
ReplyDeleteExcept for the Scotch Eggs, which look a little sad to me, it looks and sounds like a nice getaway!
There are two museums in the Pacific NW we want to see.
DeleteLooks like you had a good time!
ReplyDeleteLots of fun.
DeleteYou guys are on the move! Glad you enjoyed yourself and got home safely.
ReplyDeleteWe should go while we still can.
DeleteYou had a busy two weeks. I was about to say something about the aviation museum in McMinnville Oregon but I see Bob beat me to it. I bet you would enjoy that museum too.
ReplyDeleteAnd there is a Museum of Flight a Boeing Field we had planned to see in April 2020, that has not been rescheduled.
DeleteWhat a busy, fun trip...lots of miles and lots of sights. Pleasure meeting you!
ReplyDeleteIt was great meeting you, till we meet again,
DeleteThe scotch egg made me smile when you sent it me…..I must say the advertisements irritate me here xx
ReplyDeleteGoogle has gone a little crazy with the ads recently.
DeleteAn epic trip. Now for a little rest.
ReplyDeleteActually, off to NYC for a couple of days.
DeleteGreat photos. I have a thing for giraffes as well. Had a huge collection before we moved to Spain. Another reason to love Sean!
ReplyDeleteIt was a great zoo.
DeleteThanks so much for sharing the pics with me. You rock!
