Busy On Base

    We're finally starting to figure out more activities to do on base! When we first got here, we weren't given a "Welcome Packet", like we were supposed to, so we've kind of had to figure things out for ourselves. But that's part of the fun, right?! So we've been making an effort to go out and explore and meet new people. It's been great!
     Two weekends ago, we heard about the Blue Angels Homecoming Show, so we decided to check it out. Tyler and I went to see the air show on Saturday, but on Friday night they fireworks after the event and we had a perfect view from our front porch. It was crazy to me to be sitting outside, in shorts and a tshirt, in the beginning of November, watching fireworks. It was really fun though!
     Saturday morning we headed over to the air show to watch the Blue Angels perform. I've never been to anything like this before so I was really excited to see what it was all about! And trust me, they did not disappoint! The way they could fly so close together, in a perfect formation, while doing tricks, was crazy and so fun to watch! I took a ton of video, but unfortunately I can't post them on here. So these pictures will have to do...

   They had a ton of aircrafts on display, so we got to see one that is very similar to one that Tyler will be training on.

    This past weekend the base had what's called "Career Day", where you can go and tour the aircrafts that you might get assigned to after training. As of right now, Tyler is interested in the B-52 Bomber, so we wanted to go see that. Especially since they don't land the B-52 on this base very often. ( Last time they did, we're told it broke the runway because it weighs so much.) Needless to say, tons of people were in line to see it. We ended up standing in line for about 2 hours, so the B-52 was the only aircraft we were able to tour. It was pretty awesome though and absolutely huge!

   Tyler and I also celebrated 6 months of marriage yesterday! In celebration we bought a Wii-U and enjoyed a night in. I made delicious potato cheddar and bacon soup for dinner and we played Mario Kart. We live a pretty exciting life ;)
