Visiting the Huntley's

This afternoon Julie and I took a trip over to Chapel Hill to visit Tim, Jenny, Neil, and Evan. It was a glorious day outside and we got to play with the boys until dinner. As usual, Chef Tim cooked up an excellent vegetarian meal.

They have a nice ride and a chauffeur.

They just aren't happy with the paparazzi.

Neil is the one in the Cubs hat. Evan is the serious one.

Rocks and water in bowls. There is no better toy.

Trying to get the best end of a trade: the commodity is rocks from the driveway.

Julie and Jenny having a serious discussion, and the boys ignoring it all.

The Cherry Point Air Show

Julie (my wife) and I went to the Cherry Point Marine Core Air Station in Havelock, NC. Every two years they have a fairly large air show, bringing in the Blue Angels, numerous stunt planes, military planes, and some odd things like super-fast trucks. As always, it was some wonderful entertainment and well worth the price (free).

We went on Sunday. Both Saturday and Sunday had nice weather, but they had to cancel everything on Friday. From Thursday evening to Friday night, we had 6.5 inches of rain and 70+ mph winds. I am sure the marines would have done their part of the show, but the rest of the participants decided against.

Julie, hiding from the sun. The weather was bright and sunny all day. Very nice!

My favorite photo from the air show wasn't even an airplane. Click on this to see it larger. Notice the distortions from the heat. What an odd thing to do to a truck. I have always assumed that these things fit into the category of "because we can".
