Memorial Day

 May 26, 2025

Bayou Bend RV site 92

Baytown, Texas

Well, the reviews are in.  This morning the two-legged tried the kolaches from Buc-ees.  They agreed that the sausage was a bit larger in diameter than those from the bakery the morning before, but Momma said she thought the dough at the bakery had Buc-ees beat.  And as far as price, Buc-ees was double in cost.  

They were on their way to celebrate Memorial Day at the Lone Star Flight Museum.

The museum itself has a lot to offer, but today the visit was enhanced by special Memorial Day programs.

Dad commented that he thought this little guy would be fun to fly.  Notice the propeller is in the rear of the plane - behind the cab. (Look closely...it's black)

Several Vietnam era planes had been pushed outside and set up for close observation, including the opportunity to board a transport helicopter.

A guest speaker shared some of his experiences as a pilot during the Vietnam War and then as a member of the Blue Angels.  A well decorated, interesting speaker who definitely had a guardian angel flying with him.  He was humble about the medals bestowed upon him and put a question to the audience:  What do they award to those who have given their lives while serving their country?  The United States Flag. Part of his speech focused on Memorial Day and those who should be remembered that never returned home to their families.

We got lucky with the weather here.  The evening news shared the hail and storms to the north of us in Texas.  We just had a short rain as we traveled back from the museum that we drove out of when we entered the campground.  

I'm so glad we were able be outside tonight for my ball game.
