Ok here's the situation.... I'm an Islander by Choice. I love Galveston. I support Galveston. And here i am, on one of the best tourist weekends and festivals that is Lone Star Bike Rally, encouraging people to go off the island?!?
Actually, I'm not. If i had my druthers, every Galvestonian would be downtown drinking beer, eating sausage on a stick, and reading lips. I love the Lone Star Rally!
However, it has come to my attention that, in some cases, people can get their fill of it. If and only if this case arises with you and yours, take the drive over the causeway and up to..... GULP.... Houston..... to see the Wings over Houston Air Show at Ellington Field.
They're going to have an AV-8 (Harrier) demonstration, (for all of you True Lies debunkers), A10's, a C-17, and many others. The Heritage demo will feature war planes from the Doolittle Raiders, the European Theater, and the Korean / Vietnam era. The encore is none other than the Blue Angels.
If you've never seen this group of F/A-18's, you might want to go ahead and scribble it down on your bucket list because they are some sight to see in action.
Once again...... Don't go to this Event on October 31st and November 1st from 8:00 - 5:00!
On our second date, Mikie took me flying (yup, he's a pilot!). I couldn't believe I was getting in a tiny little airplane with a guy I had just met. We accidentally killed a bird, almost died, and then flew over the campus at A&M. It was amazing. I remember thinking how cool this guy was and he remembers wanting to tell me "put out or get out". the man has a sense of humor.
ah the good old days... '...how cool this guy WAS...'
