Valentines Day

The high winds of the last two days have died down and we decided to go to the Pima Air and Space Museum near the Davis-Monthan AFB.  When we got there we found out they had a tram tour of the outside planes on display so we called Joe and Nancy to join us.  They have over 300 planes on display both outside and inside several hangars.  Nice selection, although most were military planes.  I listened in on a tour guide describing the SR-71 and was amazed at how much she knew.  We had an excellent lunch there and spent a total of 4 hours there. They have two buildings with planes from WWII, and a separate building devoted to space exploration.  It wasn't too crowded and we enjoyed it a lot.  When we returned Joe and Kirk made dinner for us- roasted veggies and steaks on the grill along with a green salad.  Everything was great and they even did the dishes! We enjoyed some dark chocolate filled with raspberry for the finale.  Good company and some great guys.
