30 for 30 - #28: Patronize the Hill Aerospace Museum.


We did it!  One more off the list.  On Saturday, May 14, 2011 I visited, for the first time, the Hill Air Force Base Aerospace Museum.  My helpers were: Jeremy, Amber, Marlie, James, and Jack.

It was a of fun, especially with a crowd.  I was surprised at how many planes and other stuff there is to see. I almost got tired walking through the big indoor hanger.  My sister-in-law told me that once a year they open up some of the planes so you can go inside.  That sounds like the day to go, although I'll bet it's really busy.  

There were quite a few people there.  They have picnic tables around outside, I think someone was having a birthday party there.  Kind of a good idea.  The museum is free, outside is free, sign in at the desk if you go inside and donate a dollar or two if you're feeling generous.  Well worth the trip, especially with kids. 




James really really loved it.

Jack really only likes Jeremy. It's nice to hear someone other than Joey boss him.

My camera makes people look scary.

I hope no one from the city sees this and wants to upgrade.


Don't forget to donate!
James' first comment was about all the heads being cut off. It was my first thought too, kind of creepy to be in a room full of heads.

30 for 30 - #30: Do something to my hair I've always wanted to do but never dared.

Thank you Jaquelin Stallings for suggesting this as my #30.  It is affordable, and it just so happens that for the last 8 years I talked about changing my hair every winter, but never did it.  I am not prejudice of people with brown hair, but when the weather changes, and things get cold and grey I always feel like coloring my hair brown because it makes me sad. I really like my blonde hair, and even more since my sister-in-law started taking care of it for me.  She is the best.  And luckily! She said she can fix it by my birthday so I was less afraid to take this one on.  I did it!! Before Blonde me.  After Brown hair me (with a strange look on my face) It turned out a little "warmer" than I anticipated, but it might fade out a little.  Guess we'll find out.  What do you think? Brown or blonde?

I Hate Disneyland

It's true. Although this, my third time, was much more successful than preceding visits. Honestly, the first day was almost a success until I was tricked into riding the elevator to hell. Straight to hell. I know that you can't wait to read how I really feel about it. Here are my thoughts on the "Magical Kingdom". A. Its full of people, thousands and thousands of people. Let's face it I can't even go to Target on a Saturday without getting a little angry. 2. Germs. You can't have thousands of people without billions of germs crawling on things from unwashed hands, sneezing, coughing, throwing up, etc. III. Walking. I appreciate a nice brisk walk now and then, but 20 miles later the appreciation start to wane, just slightly. Q. Strollers. I hate strollers, it makes me shiver just to think about it. Although, I might change my opinion on strollers if next time someone pushes me in one. In conclusion, I love Space Mountain, I want to ride it every day 15 ti...

Sugar.

I felt like making a special tribute to Sugar, my long time friend. From a very young age I began a relationship with this delightful substance. My mother would add Karo syrup to my formula, and we haven't been parted since. I think to say that I love sugar is an understatement. I love water, I love hotdogs, but Sugar?...I can't survive without it. Although avoiding diabetes could be impossible, I can't resist. Whether it's a brownie for breakfast, a little sugar packet while waiting for food at the restaurant, or what ever misc. sugar laced deliciousness I eat in my sleep I just can't let go. I can't say that I've never tried to stop, to break the connection that we have. It was a terrible experience, that left people wondering if I was really a coke addict (not the beverage). So our relationship will be life long, its either all or none of us, we'll go down together. Here's to you sugar, and your secret powers to brighten every day.
