Going to Mississippi

Ken and I started our fun trip on friday and flew to Mississippi. We went by way of Chicago (strange way to get to Mississippi!) It was 3 degrees there and you could see your breath in the jet way, I was glad I wasn't staying in Chicago! There was snow clear across the US! Jeremy picked us up at the Birmingham airport and surprise!!! There was Aileron along for an outing! We got to go do a few errands and one of them was the baby store...Jeremy got to order the baby crib and pick up a few other things!

It was great to get to Columbus and see Jamie and all the great things they've done to the house since we were here last Feb. with the load of cabinets. Noah's room is all ready, painted, new wood floor, closet all decked out!

Here's the new chair in his room, looks pretty comfy!

Jeremy gave us a lesson in aircraft building, we got to actually try all the "dimples", "klicos" and today Ken and Jeremy did some riveting all along the tail section. I'm sure I have the official spellings and names all wrong but it was finally fun to understand the process!

Jamie and I had fun while they were busy in the shop. The guys were also building a pool table lamp out of that T-6 canopy for the squadron. We got to go get a pedicure to be ready for the cruise and then we went shopping for Noah's going home and hospital outfits! I'm sure there will be a blog soon about those, they are coming back to Az so that some more goodies can be made to match!

That picture was Riley...And here is everyone's buddy Aileron...

And here's Rio.

So tonight we had a great time and went to Little Porkey's for some Great southern Cooking! Denise said be sure and try out all the ethnic food along the way so I jumped right in and got Catfish! It was FRIED, then there were these corn things that were FRIED and then a hushpuppie that was FRIED, everything was FRIED! So that was true Ethnic cooking for Mississippi!

Jeremy and Jamie have made some great friends here, Anna and Robby, I can see they have so much fun together and it was great meeting them. They met us for dinner and then came back to the house to to play the new Monopoly card game, so we learned that and I heard it's coming with us. So tomorrow is the big day, we leave at 7 AM to head to New Orleans, we have 2 national parks to get to and get stamps while in New Orleans, then it's time to get on the BIG BOAT! And away we go come sunday afternoon. Off to the Western Caribbean for lots of fun in the sun. I'll be back soon, but first a bit of R&R! Bon Voyage!
