A short family vacation...

Every year while in school, Chad needs to complete 35 days of Air Force Reserve duty. Most of the time this happens over the summer, but Chad was 1 1/2 days short last summer. So right after our Memorial Day Work weekend we took another trip to Wright-Patterson Air Force base in Dayton, Ohio where Chad completed the weekend with a friend of his.

We started off with a night in Indianapolis where we stayed in a hotel and ate supper at one of our favorite restaurants from Hawaii, the Old Spaghetti Factory. The boys had a great time in the swimming pool that night. Then we headed off to Dayton. We met up with Chaplain Dickens for lunch at McDonald's and then Chad was off to work. The boys and I got settled into the Wright Patterson Inn and took a nap. Then we met up with Chad and Chaplain Dickens for supper that night.

The next day, Chad was off at work and I took the boys to the U.S. Air Force Museum. They enjoyed looking at all the old air planes and war vehicles. This time they were particularly impressed with the stealth jets and getting to sit in the cockpit of a fighter jet.

The next day we were on our way home. Sorry for the lack of pictures. My camera spent the majority of the time locked up in the hotel room (where I kept forgetting it).
