We Decided To Fly Away!

He he he he!

Robin arranged for us to join her group in Huntington Beach for the yearly Air Show!

We joined Robin on the tenth floor of the Hilton Hotel on Huntington Beach’s beach for a fantastic airshow view!

We got to HB at 10:00 am and decided to have a bite to eat before going upstairs.  We must say that the Hilton Hotel food provided via the CaboWabo restaurant was unexpected!

The drinks were fantastic and the meal excellent!!

There was still some fog, so we went upstairs to the suite and entered a party underway!  Food and drinks abounded on every flat surface!

Oh My! Did we have food or what?

Out on the balcony, the weather was poor.

Just a bit of fog!

Kelly Grigsby was there, and we got to visit and catch up on this since I retired 18 years ago.  Kelly was on my staff and took care of many tasks for me.  She was ex-Navy and never met a challenge she could not tackle!

Kelly Grigsby joined us!

We heard the jets go by, rattling the iron railings on the patio.  We never saw the jets and hoped they had their radars on, as we were ten floors up on the beach and could not see a thing!

You could not even see the ships!

We decided to head home ahead of the traffic since the fog was still pretty thick. Robin got the car from the auto park about three blocks away and drove it to the front door. I had a few drinks and decided to have Robin drive home; it was a good choice.

Dog-A-Puss and I lay on the floor and talked about our recent trip!  He told us he loves Irene; they are quite a pair!

Poppy and Scout!

Robin had to leave early to relieve Nick from Binx-watch.  Their family kitty is 14 years old and not doing well, so they want someone always to be there.

We decided to go into the hot tub for a while before watching TV. The weather was a balmy 78 degrees, so we stayed in for three cycles, which was around an hour. We popped out, dried off, and decided to watch Hocus Pocus in the TV Room.

Mary crashed hard, like a computer running Windows 95 trying to play a Blu-ray movie. She looked so peaceful, so we decided to let her sleep!

Scout and I stayed up until it was over and woke up sleeping beauty. Looks like I’ll be watching it again tonight! I guess I should invest in some toothpicks to keep her eyes open!

In all fairness, we’ve been on the move for ten days straight – even the Energizer Bunny would be begging for a break by now!

About Paul

Just an old retired guy trying to finish out my last years on this planet. I lost my best friend and wife in early 2020. I was blessed again by reconnecting with Dr. Mary Côté, a long-time friend. Mary and I got married July 28th, 2021, and are enjoying life together and plan to spend the rest of our lives being a blessing to our friends and family.
