Bowman Birthday

The view from the deck.

What do you get for somebody who does not want to celebrate her birthday?
A good meal, and a scenic journey to get there.
We started the day off by going to Rough River State Park for brunch.

Then we came home and took a nap so we could start the next leg of the adventure.

We had never been to this airport, which is in the shadow of the large airport in Lousiville that services UPS and the Kentucky Air National Guard.

Kind of neat to stand in a building that Lindbergh flew into on his way to fly across the Atlantic.

The real reason we went there was to visit this restaurant.

It was worth the effort.

Julie's Chicken

Grilled Tuna

Banana Chocolate Torte

Crepe Mascarpone


The terminal building, if you look close you might see the saxophone player, and the old control tower.

This is before, the finish was gone in the high traffic area and there were a few stains.

This is after, sanding and then 5 coats of Polyurethane.

I got to sit in the pilot's seat of this airplane.  It does not fly, due to corrosion.

The fantasy of flight in Florida brought it out for the splash in.
