I'm not sure if I mentioned this before but the Goodyear Blimp airdock is about fifteen minutes from me. The Marines have a Toys For Tots drive this weekend and we went last night with a trunkload. You drive through the hangar right next to the blimp (it is literally right next to you!) and the Marines unload whatever is donated from your vehicle. When we arrived the line was already fifty cars deep and a steady line turning in after us. A new blimp is being built so it didn't look like what you'd see on tv yet. It was still cool!

Waiting in line.

Closer to Blimp!

And at the exit you drive right up under the tail of the Blimp.

Next year we plan on going again to see the finished product. :)
That's really cool. We've seen the blimp on the ground a few times (the joys of living near an airport) here and in Florida but never been able to get that close to it.

Our Toys for Tots thing was an upclose look at the state trooper's cars. Big Whoop! :rolleyes:

OMG! That entire story from Toys for Tots, a new blimp and all the people in line, is very uplifting. Thank you for sharing that.

So the Packers nearly lost to the Browns... but we managed to score 20 unanswered points to win in overtime following a 14 point deficit at the start of the 4th quarter.

And, I also called the OT interception by DeShone Kizer and the game winning TD to Davante Adams. Just saying.
