Today I finally got to do what I came down here to do. I went to the beach with Erik, Carmen, Sarah, me and Mum and Pop. What a blast! Sara and I had so much fun. Here she buried me in the sand. That was OK with me. The sand was almost as white as the snow in Minnesota but soft and warm.
After playing in the sand for a while I did a little swimming. It was cold but I just had to say I did it. The waves were big and one time my Pop actually had to run into the water and save me from going out to sea. I wasn’t scared though. I knew Pop would take care of me.
After we got done at the beach we went to this really neat Air Force museum. There were all kinds of fighter planes there. I knew you’d like this picture. I said “Don’t mess with me – I had a really bad day” Everyone thought that was really funny.
These planes were so neat. We met a man named Kent who explained that he helped design one of the airplanes. How fun would that be? He must have the best job in the world.
I took so many pictures I wish I could show you all of them. This picture is of me standing on a SR-71 Blackbird. I’d give anything to be able to sit in the cockpit but Pop said I had to be happy just being able to stand on the wing.
This is a picture of a MOAB (Mother of all Bombs). Pop says when you think you’re having a really bad day, think about having one of these coming at you.
This was a really neat day and I’m really glad I got to go. I’ll have so many things to tell my friends back home about. That will make them really jealous.
Tomorrow we’re going to drive 500 miles to a place called Lake Placid, Florida to see my Mum’s Aunt and Uncle. I’ve never met them before but I’m always anxious to make more friends. After that we off to see some more friends who live in Bonita Beach, Florida. I’ll be keeping you posted on where I’m at and what other fun things I’m doing.
