I have been neglecting my posts this year. It is April and I haven’t posted since the oyster roast in February. I guess there hasn’t been much happening.
Last week Tina and I went on a ” Drive and Dine” with my car club. We went to the Pat Conroy Literary Center in Beaufort.
At lunch some of the other car club guys talked about the Air Show at the Marine Corps Air Station in Beaufort the following weekend. So, this morning Tina and I are off to buy some ear protection and see the Navy Blue Angels flying team. But this time we will not be driving the Jeep.
Getting to MCAS Beaufort (Merritt Field) was an ordeal.
We first stopped at Walmart to buy ear protection as recommended. In the sporting goods area every piece of ear protection was sold. At checkout I noticed that a guy had a container of disposable ear plugs. He got them in the pharmacy section, I lucked out as there was another container. Now I am set for life ear protection wise.
It took us over two hours to make the 20 minute trip to the MÇAS. We then had a mile and a half walk to the entrance to the air show. It was worth the inconvenience. The Blue Angels put on quite a show. And there were a number of other air and parachute demonstrations. Needless to say, there was quite a crowd.
Over 100,000 people attended the Air Show
