Just incredibly great photos. Every one. Especially when you look at the "Original" views. Photos like these really make me miss my "other home".

Thank you for sharing them.

I liked the pics of the air show, the stained glass, the food; okay they were all good. Adrienne's red hat is very becoming to her. Glad you had a good time!
