Tailhook 2009

We went because the airplane ride was free...


Turns out free aiplane rides are free for a reason...we thought we were going to Fallon, NV....but instead we went to Nowhere-in-the-desert, CA. Where a bus picked us up and took us to Reno.


We made it to Reno...biggest little dump in the world! We hear the suburbs are nice...

On Friday we got out of Reno and went on a winery tour at Tahoe Ridge Winery...pretty mountains!


Friday night was a reception (drunkfest)...hot and crowded and tons of fun.


The old retired guys who come back to Hook every year are...characters.

Home....well, not deloyed at least.

Since Michael returned home, we've gotten to do some "normal" things for once!
Like a lovely picnic on the beach in Bellingham...it does get sunny up here once in a while!

We went home for Alumni Band where Michael got to meet his niece Erin for the first time
And see her drink beer....like any good future Badger would be doing on gameday.

We got to see college friends for the first time in a while


And spend time with family at the game



And of course Erin picked her instrument! Good choice Erin!
