Melon tours NBAA
Once again I was forced to attend the National Business Aviation Association Trade Show. I will spare you our booth -- you've seen it before. But, for those interested, this was the nicest "head of state" jet at the show. It is based on an Airbus 318 and is quite comfortable inside.

Melone bereist Deutschland
Me in Munich in front of some elegant Munich edifice.
The Bradfords -- Dalton, Luc, Melissa, and Randall -- picked me up from the Munich Airport and took care of me for almost 2 days. They put me up in their classic German home, fed me, took me for a walk, and took me to Oktoberfest (pictured here).
It was a first Oktoberfest for these boys as well. Generally not a family celebration, there were many rides for kids to take advantage of, and they did.
This is the activity most were engaged in. This carosel barely moved, and it was a good thing since most aboard had been drinking ale for hours.Monday, September 14, 2009
C&C Wedding
Clint and Cassie made for a concentrated week of wedding activities. Early in the week we went with Cassie to the Draper Temple for her first time in. It was beautiful. There was a bridal shower and a bachelor party later on Wednesday. I found that I was invited to neither. I guess Cole wasn't either so he came and we watched a movie and messed around together.
I came up with few pictures on Friday, the wedding day. And what I came up with was not great. I was busy with family and the all day affair. I hope the professional picture guy comes up with some good stuff. It was a great day brought to us by Clint, Cassie, the Wayt's, Shauna, and many helpers who truely must love C&C.
These were very cute kids. Cole actually had a pair of black pants and suspenders, but he simply could not stand them. I guess they were not comfortable and could not be accomodated. Even Luke had black pants and suspenders though.

Melon tours Red Budd
Red Budd, Maryland, home of AMA Pro Motocross near Ben's place and some work at Dulles Intl Airport

Ben and I stayed in historic Fredericksburg, Virginia and did the walking tour of this civil war town...
While doing time at Dulles I visited the new Udvar-Hazy sponsored Air & Space Museum. There were lots of cool planes -- such notables as the Concord, the USS Enterprise (space shuttle, not Starship), the Enola Gay B-29 flying fortress along with these 2 space craft, can you name them?

Touring Bear lake!
Touring in the back of a pickup is the ultimate in freedom. Cole was not allowed so much freedom...

but, as you can see, he enjoyed his car seat.

He was also confined to this sand car you see him driving courtesy of uncles and aunts (to be too)

The "surreys" provided a little respite from 3 squares a day.

I loved how most of the boats were launched with vintage International, Chalmers, and Deere tractors all over the lake.

Canyon braved the frigid waters and skiied for us
