Us on the car ferry going from Ft. Morgan to Dauphin Island

Wow this year is flying by. Today marks the end of the first half of the year! I cannot believe it, although I really can as it is June 30 and it is 102 degrees outside. Mississippi heat is a phenomenon that cannot be explained only experienced. It is the hottest place I have ever been and I hope to ever go! I digress! A couple of weeks ago I got to take a business trip down to the coast! Mike accompanied me and we spend a wonderful four day weekend at the beach! We ate extremely too much and got too much sun but it was a blast! It was our first time at the gulf in Alabama and it was so alien to see the oil and natural gas rigs out in the water there. We had a very informative couple of hours visiting with one of the scientific collaborators down at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab and that was the 'business' side of the trip! The rest of the time we spent relaxing, eating, shopping and exploring.

This past weekend Mike and I headed to Tuscaloosa for an airshow. I have heard Mike talk about seeing The Blue Angels countless times so when I heard on the radio that they were coming there was no way I was going to let him miss them being so close. We awoke early and had a delicious breakfast at City Bagel and were on our way. Tuscaloosa is about an hour away and we arrived early getting a great parking place(we heard that it was a nightmare before so we planned ahead) We walked around the static display area seeing some pretty awesome planes/jets and even some pretty impressive Star Wars characters who's costumes were pretty spot on according to Mike. We later made it over to the runway seating area and watched some of the aerobatic performances along with paratroopers and even a wingwalker. The final performance of the were the Navy Blue Angels and they lived up to all the hype. I am still amazed at the intelligence, talent and pure bravery it takes to fly these beautiful machines. It was truly a sight to be seen and I hope we go again soon! Mike seemed to have a wonderful time and that's the only thing that mattered to me! We ended the day at Huck's Place in Columbus for a delicious dinner! Even though we ended up pretty sunburned we had a great time!
