Another Busy Weekend

As the past few have been, the past weekend was packed full of things to do. We drove up to VA Beach to set up a booth for BW's squadron at the 50th NAS Oceana Airshow. Luckily we were able to stay with my good friend Cara which also means that Layla was able to come along and spend some fun time playing with Shiner, which she absolutely loved!!

Friday night BW and I met up with some of his friends he/we have not seen in a really long time and hung out for a few hours. It was a lot of fun and always great to see those guys again.

Then, the rest of the weekend was spent in the VFA 86 tent selling t-shirts, DVDs, patches... to all the airshow fans. It was fun to see so many people impressed by what BW does. I mean, I have always been very proud of him and what he does for our country, but to actually see so many others wanting to support his squadron and purchase their stuff surprised me. So, we spent 11+ hours on Saturday and another 8+ hours on Sunday in the tent listening to the Jets fly around and make lots of noise. BW and I both ducked and scanned the skies everytime they flew over trying to catch another glimpse... and then smile at each other because we knew we were both enjoying the fun!

As you can imagine the weekend was exhausting! But, we had a good time together.. be it frustrating at times since we both know the best way to do things =) And we were able to raise a good amount of money for his squadron so our time at the airshow was a success!

Now it's back to work for 3 more nights and then we will see what the upcoming weekend will hold...

I'm so glad you guys had fun this weekend! I'm sorry I was such a lame-o hostess and I'm really to have a friend like you, who understands when I just need to lay low and take care of myself. Next time though, we're tearing up the town. :)
