Blue Angels

The Blue Angels performed at Wings over Atlanta show at Dobbins Air force Base. It was our privilege to go.  We ended up watching on the National Guard side with a fantastic view. Solo jets 5 & 6 took off right on the other side of the fence and all 6  landed there. Not to mention the amazing stunts in the air!

Saturday ended with the Monk’s coming to watch Thompson while we went out on a date (Thank You). Sunday was church, lunch at Yeah Burger and then a day of catching up on housework.

Thompson is 2!

Thompson turned 2 in September. We celebrated with a MONKEY themed family and friend party at my Aunts house. She has a play set that is perfect for this age.  Both sets of grandparents came up and Auntie even flew in to surprise us. What a fun party!  Thank you for all the gifts and memories!

Europe

William served the Navy in Naples, Italy for a little over two weeks. I flew out to join him the last few days in Naples. We explored Naples and then headed to Capri on Saturday for the day. Capri was lovely and we were able to swim in the Blue Grotto. If you wait until 5pm in the fall you can swim for free. It was a very neat experience and I am glad were able to have that moment! We ate at Da Michele (pizza place in Eat, Pray, and Love in Naples (it was so yummy).

After Naples we headed to Innsbruck, Austria for a GE conference. I was able tour during the day while William was in meetings. Then we had dinners together that were very good. I loved Innsbruck its so clean and located in the Alps.

Finally, we ended our trip in Rome for 4 days to celebrate our 5 year Anniversary. I loved seeing all the ancient sites and eating very yummy Italian food. The weekend we were there most museums where free so we saved huge on cost! The Vatican was amazing and worth seeing the Sistine Chapel. We praise God that we stayed healthy and returned home to our precious 2 year old. Thanks to my parents who watched him and allowed us this once and a lifetime experience.
