Blackbird Days

Museum of Aviation, Robins AFB

This week is the Blackbird Days at the Museum of Aviation at Robins AFB. I decided to forget about work on Friday and return to the museum for the event. For those unfamiliar, the Blackbird is the name of the SR-71 aircraft, a long-range, high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft. The particular aircraft on display at the museum is the one that holds the world speed record for a manned jet aircraft at a speed of 2193.167 mph, or Mach 3.3.

Catrinas After Dark

La Calavera Catrina
Columbus Botanical Garden

Thursday evening was the final opportunity for me to experience Ricardo Soltera’s La Calavera Catrina exhibit after sunset. I was excited a few weeks ago when I received the email reminder for the after hours event to wander the gardens and view the statues illuminated while experiencing cocktails, themed snacks and music. The special event was only offered three consecutive Thursdays and I was determined not to miss out.
