Dyess Air Show Weekend

IMG_5164

My parents came into town and we did all kinds of great Abilene things! They even got to piggy back on some of the 25th Anniversary B-1 celebration, which was nice. The weeks before, Rob and the other B-1 students had been preparing for all the distinguished visitors. In briefing the students, the commander showed them photos of all the distinguished visitors and it went something like this “this is the commander of this squadron, this two star general did this, this 3 star general, this is the first guy to fly the B-1… Okay… if you see an old guy, better call him ‘sir!’”

Rob painted the bar… again… I think he’s used his painting skills in every squadron bar he’s been a part of!

Friday, we went out to Perini’s for dinner and checked it off our Texas Monthly Bucket List (63 Things you must do while you live in Texas). Mom and Dad also checked off another one by stopping at Dublin for a Dublin Dr. Pepper. Mmmm.

The sky looked beautiful, like a Van Gogh painting!
