Allowing your children to play in a Scud Missile launcher might be considered a dangerous idea. Pausing to take their picture may seem even more loony. Believe me. I took a very sincere pause before deciding to post these pictures to the blog. I just had to share why we had this opportunity. This blog is also how I scrapbook our lives, and this event/opportunity is one we may not have again.
I've never really been sure of what my husband does for a living. Obviously, I know he's an electrical engineer, and I know that he can do all kinds of amazing math. BUT, I've never known where he works or what he does. I'm still not sure what he does, but I have seen his office now! This is only the second time I have ever seen where he works. The other time was when he worked for a different company and had a non-classified location I could visit.
The company he works for contracts a group to a certain project that is in a super nice facility that was open to the public for the first time as part of its ribbon cutting. The kids and I couldn't miss the chance to take our non-security-clearanced selves to his work-site! In all honesty, this may never happen again.
There were bouncy houses for the kids and a car show and loud music. There were also ballistic missiles. :) Guess what my three liked the best? :)
Pictures were allowed outside the building, but I couldn't take the camera in. Or my cell phone. :)
A few days later I was talking to a friend who works in the same building. She asked me if Jay was on one of two floors. I confirmed one of the floors, and she said she had suspected that all along because that's where all the really smart guys are kept. :) It made my heart smile.
