Day out with Thomas

Today we went to Connersville for a "Day out with Thomas." Owen is big into Thomas the Tank Engine so we figured he would have a great time with this. We got to ride on a real train with a full scale Thomas as the engine. There were lots of activities and things for the kids to do.

Check out some of the pictures below.

Red Bull/NEFI Award

My boss surprised me with an award for all the hard work I had been doing over the last two weeks. Check out the pictures.

Thanks to all my coworkers who helped me achieve this wonderful and one-of-a-kind award.

Red Bull Air Races NYC

About 3 months ago AMA was asked to be an exhibitor at the NYC Red Bull Air Races, so last weekend I and a few coworkers attended to promote the AMA and model aeronautics. I volunteered to drive 14 hours both ways to get our setup there. It was a long drive, and long days, but so worth it for the AMA and as a personal experience. I never made it into the Manhattan, the races were actually in New Jersey, but that was ok by me. The experience in New Jersey gave me a pretty good glimpse of "big city" life. I'll try to get photos up on flickr and posted here soon.
