The Sweetest Thing

P's B-day was a week ago . . . I made him a Reece's Pieces Cake:
We went to his 2 favorite places for lunch and dinner - Zinburger and El Charro!

And, to the Titan Missile Museum. It is the only accessible Titan II missile site left in the nation. You can tour the underground missile site, visit the launch control center, and see the 3-ton blast doors, the 8-foot thick silo walls, and the missile in the launch duct.

Yes, that does sound right up Patrick's alley . . .

I forgot to take my camera, but this is what the missile looks like. That is a view looking down about 8 stories. It is . . . large.
Since I forgot to take my camera, I missed getting a picture of P in his blue hard hat (everyone over 5'10 had to wear one - plus this kid, apparently), but P looked oddly reminiscent of the kid in this picture . . . it's kinda freakin' me out the more I look at it, actually.
Overall, the Titan Missile Museum was a success.

Why?

Because P enjoyed it, AND because P and the tour guide (he'd really manned the control center during the Cold War) did NOT get into a fist fight over the value of atomic weapons. It would have been embarrassing to have to tell people your husband got beat up by a 70 year old tour guide.
