Jake Day Festivities

You call it May Day, but I call it Jake Day because yesterday I was reunited with my favorite brother, Jake. And, boy, did we celebrate.



Jake was not impressed with US Airways, as they only retuned ONE of the TWO bags he gave them in Atlanta!!


























On the way home, Jake told us of his journey from Atlanta.








Shortly after Jake's arrival, we began the weeklong festivities to honor Mom and other recipients from around the nation.

We had the entire Smithsonian Museum of Air & Space to ourselves.


First: an IMAX about the brain (Wired to Win) with a follow up from the film director and Q & A with a neurologist. The big question of the night (from all those math and science teachers): How can we motivate the unmotivated?

Next, hors d'voures, wine, jazz and of course..the exhibits (Did I mention that we were the ONLY ones in the ENTIRE museum?)!!

Jake gave us the scoop on the Mars Rover. We were disspointed to see they left his part off the model in the museum!

What a night. It was a Jake Day I will never forget.
