Flying to Williamsburg

     Please don't forget to check out my Abbey Animal Mission blog (Abbeyanimal.blogspot.com) to see where we are on that Project.

   Went to Church today and decided to go to the 9:45 service with my son Mark.  I don't usually go to this service as its contemporary and I am more of a traditional kind of guy… I have to admit that it was a great service.  A lot of youth were there including David Jr. who I have known since he was only a kid.  I watched him grow up in the church, I watched him sing in the youth choir, I watched him pick up a guitar for the first time and now I have watched him come of age in the church. Now I have also watched him propose to his wife to be.  God has special things waiting for him.  I can't wait to see what is next!  Anyway, the service was very moving.  It sure was nice to see the youth taking an active role in the church.

Ghost Fleet in the James River

     Was able to fly to Williamsburg today (KJGG).  Took my bike in the Six and parked in the parking lot next to two other Pipers (they were a lot younger). 

Piper Squadron!

  Peddled into town for lunch and some delicious coffee.  This is a great little town with lots of history and lots of things to do.  I am lucky to live so close.  The flight is about 15 minutes from Hampton Roads Executive (KPVG), but it is packed with very interesting events along the way.  One of the things that I fly over is the James River "Ghost Fleet".  These are ships that have been mothballed by the Navy.  If you want to buy one I am sure they are for sale.  Mostly they are purchased for scrap as they are out of the World War II time zone and not in very good shape. 

Look real Hard and can see Bush Gardens

Classic Williamsburg!

      Another thing that I fly by is Bush Gardens (the amusement park).  This is interesting in that it is very hard to tell which ride you are looking at.  I am sure that some of you are experts in the field of Roller Coasters and you will be able to pick them out.  Anyway after going into town I stopped at Aroma's, a coffee shop, for some great coffee and a sandwich.  Then, on to the Virginia Peanut Factory store right across the street.  The best thing about this place is the very large and complete spread of peanuts… I feel like its the Buba-Gump  of Peanuts.  They have all kinds, from very spicy to salty to sweet to chocolate covered.  The other best thing is that they have samples of all of them so you can try them before making a selection… mostly I just try them, and try them, and try them (i can't seem to eat just one…)!  The next thing I know I am jumping around like a "Mexican Jumping Bean" from all the sugar and caffeine in the chocolate… well worth it!

     Ok, this blog post has gotten long enough and kind of "ramblie", so I am going to get going and get ready to go to work (good grief! that was quite the sentence).  Another week is starting and I can't wait to see whats next.  Please Pray for these Projects.  More to come, Bye for now, Robin
