Hubby and I and BFF Mark visited the PAX River Naval Air Museum today. We spent several hours there. Being up close and personal with the planes and choppers was exciting as well as very interesting. The volunteers were all well informed and I believe all retired from fields involved with the aircraft in some way. We had a grand time, learned a lot and hope to visit again sometime. Afterwards we enjoyed a delish lunch at the Foxy Fish restaurant. See extra. Our waitress took the shot but I wanted it here since it was making memories with Mark. He has moved to FL and we will not be seeing each other as much anymore.
