Easter

I went back to Kentucky for easter to visit my family and friends. I got into Louisville Saturday evening and went straight to Los Aztecas to eat with everyone. It had been a long time since I'd been to Los and it had changed quite a bit. The service wasn't as good and the menu had changed. There's no longer an a la carte menu, which is what I normally order off of. We also went home and shot my brother's homemade AR-15. It's a lot of fun to shoot.


Saturday night, I hung out with my friends. It was great to see my good friends from Louisville again, but it reminded me that I hadn't been home in eight months, which is much too long. I'm looking forward to my trip back to Louisville this summer, when I'll have more time to hang out with everyone.

Sunday consisted of the usual easter traditions: church, egg hunt, lamb dinner with the family. We added one, though. My older brother and my Dad both recently bought 9mm pistols. My Dad got a Glock and my brother got a Beretta. So, Sunday we went out in the rain (we went under a lean-to in one of our pastures) and shot both hand guns and the AR-15. It was a lot of fun, and now I have an itch for a gun.

Monday I went flying with my dad to get some instrument practice in. It had been over eight months since I'd flown, so It was good to log some hours. We flew several approaches at Clark County and Bowman Field, then landed just before a wave of thunderstorms rolled in.

I came back to Colorado Tuesday afternoon. It was a short trip, but it was great to see my family and friends again. It rained the entire time I was there, which was pretty lame. Hopefully when I go back in the summer, the weather will be decent.
