The Three F's: Friends, Fun and Food!

We're on our way!  Left after work Friday evening, April 16th with our wonderful friends Ann and Ty for a Thunder Over Louisville weekend!  What luck...we were really blessed with the most picture perfect beautiful blue skies Saturday and Sunday.  (Kind of reminded me of San Diego...Aahhhh...San Diego....oops, I digress...)    Before we could drive to Louisville, we had an important stop to make:

Yes, that's right food!  (one of the three F's, remember?)  Mmmm...good!  It was 8:00 pm and we were hungry!  Got to Louisville later that evening for a night's sleep before the all day event on Saturday.

Men at Work!                                   Women at Work!

We set up camp and gathered around for our annual ritual:

The eating of Gert's Famous Fried Chicken!  MMMMmmmm....Vince is in paradise.

The Airshow started about 3:00 and lasted into the evening.

With over 1/2 million in attendance the year before, the city of Louisville was hoppin'.  We played cards, walked, and laughed with great company.  Check out the coolest ballon guy ever....he was really awesome and made balloon animals for free for the kids.

As evening fell (and the air temperature as well) it was on to the biggest firework show in the country  (I guess that makes 4 F's.)

Below is my favorite fireworks shot...I call it my Star Trek Amoeba Photo.  Doesn't it look like some other galaxy with a supernova exploding??

After the fireworks, got back to Gert's house llllaaatttteeee!  Sometime in the middle of the night I guess    

and sacked out 'til morning.  Oh, I guess some of us sacked out prior to that! HA!

Next morning, after a breakfast of Gert's Famous Fried Chicken, we went to Fort Knox to see the General George Patton Museum.  (Vince loves all things military.)  Plus it was free!  :-)

Sigh...almost time to go home!  But we had one more stop to make to end a wonderful weekend:

Oh yeah, more food!  and FUN!
