"Off We Go..."

"...Into the wild blue yonder,

Climbing high into the sun;

Here they come zooming to meet our thunder,

At 'em boyz, Give 'er the gun! (Give 'er the gun now!)

Down we dive, spouting our flame from under,

Off with one helluva roar!

We live in fame or go down in flame. Hey!

Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force!"

I love three day weekends! We started it off by having our friends Amy and Steve over for dinner (Mexican themed), dessert (Will made cookies), drinks and some Wii!! Colin loved having company over and even managed to convince Will and I to let him out of bed and stay up a bit longer...which meant he slept in until 8 am on Sunday, so that was nice!

On Sunday, we relaxed at home...I worked on homework (did pretty well on my quizzes!), we cleaned, and my sweetie took me to the bookstore (sadly not BN but Borders will do) so I could buy a few new books (having new books will make studying harder). Will also had band rehearsal so Colin and I had some mommy/son time, which of course is always a blast!

Today, we took Colin to the Air and Space museum, hence the Air Force song opening this blog. Will educated me on all things Air Force and even sang the song for me! We had a good time and Colin did very well. We attempted the visit without his stroller, so he either walked (he was very good about holding one of our hands) or we took turns carrying him. He loved the planes! Will and I may try to go sometime on our own so we can do the space ship simulator and moon walk...one of our future dates! Plus, it would be nice to read about what we were looking at; Colin likes to keep moving, no time to read!

It was a little weird because they had a lot of Transformer stuff since the second movie had scenes filmed there, but it is nice if it helps bring people in. Below is a picture of the Black Bird which is the really old transformer in the movie. It is a really cool looking plane.

Will got really excited about the space section although that seemed to be the one that Colin behaved the worst, so we had to walk through it quicker than we would have liked...sorry sweetie :(

Such a nice weekend!!!
