So we’ve decided on Saturday March 20th for Anna “Princess and Cowboy” birthday party. We decided to try something new here and not only do the RSVP through the comments to this blog entry, but also make a ‘Birthday Gift Registry.’ I know it’s hard to buy gifts for a 5 year old, especially if you don’t know what she already has! So I made a ‘wish list’ on Amazon with a few items I know she would like, and does not already have. If you do buy something from the list, you don’t have to do it from Amazon of course. If you buy it somewhere else though, please add a quick comment here and I’ll remove it from the wish list!

Invitations should be going out soon… it’s a kids’ party though so to my single adult friends, don’t wait too long by the mailbox!

People who have known me since college usually know that I love airplanes. I can trace my love of airplanes back to sitting in my living room in Manassas, VA, at the ripe age of seven, repeatedly watching the movie “The Final Countdown.” I probably watched that movie more than 50 times and my favorite part was always the F-14 Tomcats engaging the Japanese Zeros. Well, I’ve passed that love down to my son… maybe he inherited it, I don’t know. He loves airplanes, probably even more than me. With that, it was so exciting to take him to the opening airshow of the season for the US Air Force Thunderbirds. The weather was great, the kids were great, and all in all, it was a fun afternoon! Best of all, it was free and local!!!
