Memorial Day Weekend

For Memorial Day Dan and I went to the Outer Banks, NC where we go every year with our friends. We couldn't have asked for better weather.

Do you like my Farmer's tan from the air show? (see previous post)

Dan, Brian, Heather & Michael

PS: For those of you asking where I got my suit,
I got it online at www.urbanoutfitters.com
Thanks to my friend Becky W. for giving me the suggestion!

Air Show

Yesterday Dan and I went to the Joint Forces Air Show at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland. I had never seen anything like it and really enjoyed my day....except for getting fried in the sun and the long lines I had to wait in. Dan has an incredible knowledge of planes and it was fun having him explain everything to me. Being there just made me realize how powerful our country is and it made me proud to me a citizen of the United States of America.

Starfighters is the World's only supersonic,
civilian jet demonstration team.

The F-22 Raptor is the most advanced
fighter plane in operation right now.

The most touching part of the air show was when we saw 4 generations of America's finest fighter jets flying together representing 50 years of technological advancement.

P-51 = WW2
F-4= Vietnam
F-15E=Gulf War
F-22 = War of the future

C-130

Not sure what kind of plane this is-but it was huge. (Edit: Dan says it's a B-52 strategic bomber)

The Navy Blue Angels were incredible.
I could have watched them all day.

My poor sunburned arm (the picture doesn't do it justice). Dan and I have never been so fried in our lives. It's so embarrassing! The last time I had water blisters on my nose was when I was in junior high and thought I was too cool for sunscreen.

Dan also made a cool video of the F-22 Stealth Fighter in flight...check it out!

And HERE is his video of the Air Force Heritage Flight.

Don't be Jealous...

I know you're all jealous of our new purchase...who wouldn't be?

I mean, this thing is quality! It grills succulent steaks, juicy chicken, and
grilled vegetables like you can't imagine.


There's nothing like a ghetto George Foreman outdoor grill.
Our condo doesn't allow gas/charcoal grills and Dan wanted to feel like he's
doing his share of the cooking, so we settled on the electrical "grill"
(if you can even call it that).

Just don't trip on the electrical cord as you come to our front door.
Come on over and we can have a BBQ on our mosquito infested front porch!

Like I said, don't be jealous! You'd all love to be as
white trash as the Jensen's.....

but it's just not possible.
