Air Hogs and Air Museums . . .
This morning Jan and I headed out about 10 to use the gift certificate for TC Coffee that we won during the rally, But they were closed. I guess they’re only open during the week.
So we headed back downtown to check out Java Nation, a coffee/sandwich place. It turned out to be a really neat place with really good food.
The breakfast sandwiches were delicious, as was the pumpkin spice lattes we had with it.
Across the street from Java Nation I found this beautiful 1948 Buick Roadmaster.
I seem to remember one of my uncles having one of these back in the mid-50’s, except his was red. Just a beautiful car.
One of the things Jan and I love about Celina is the novel architecture around town
It seems like there’s something different and more striking around every corner
After breakfast Jan and I headed out to get our weekly Wal-Mart. While we were there I found Nick and I a new toy. It’s a Air Hogs Blue Sky Hawkeye, a remote control plane that also has a still/video camera built. We ended up with one for each of us.
The Thousand Trails park we’re heading to next has a lot of wide open spaces, so not as many things for Nick to run into. We ought to have a lot of fun with these. Until we crash.
Later, about 5pm, a bunch of us (18 to be exact) headed over to the China Wok Buffet for another get together. Good food and good company, what can I say.
Tomorrow Nick and Terry, and Jan and I are going to make a day trip down to Dayton to visit the National Museum of the United States Air Force and the Dayton Aviation Historical Park, highlighting the Wright Brothers and the birthplace of aviation.

Thought for the Day:
"So we went to Atari and said, ‘Hey, we’ve got this amazing thing [the Apple Computer], even built with some of your parts, and what do you think about funding us? Or we’ll give it to you. We just want to do it. Pay our salary, we’ll come work for you.’ And they said, ‘No.’ So then we went to Hewlett-Packard, and they said, ‘Hey, we don’t need you. You haven’t got through college yet.’" – Steve Jobs
