Good afternoon all!!!

Last night was a nice little turn out.

I met a few new faces and enjoyed some time with familiar faces as well. Yes,

the unexpected food was a nice surprise along with the Tropical Smoothie truck. The traveling bunch with Mini Takes the States were a great group of people. Hubby took some pics. I"ll have to post some later.
I went to the events this morning also.

Wow, what a blast a little car ride

can be with a bunch of Minis over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel.

Who knew?
We headed out

sometime around 10:00 a.m. At the last verbal update there would be no helicopter due to a no start

problem. They couldn't get the helicopter starter? So who's going to be the first person to jump in if they did?

Not me!!!

Well somewhere down the road they got it started and someone jumped in to take the photos that had been mentioned.

I sure give that lady credit!!!

The helicopter came into view just as we reached the Lestner Bridge on Shore Drive. It stayed with us taking different positions all through the drive. I can't wait to see the pics (not sure if there is video also, sure hope so).

There should be some really nice shoots from the CBBT area. I'm pretty sure they got some really nice shots as we entered the tunnel and the helicopter was right above the enterance. At one point the helicopter was so low and right over my head that I could feel the wind generated from it. Wow!!!

That should've made for some excellent pics of everyone behind me.
Thanks to everyone with Mini Takes the States!!!

It was a blast meeting everyone

and I sure hope you all have a safe

and fun road

ahead. Thanks also to Checker Flag for their support

of Mini Takes the States. It's nice to have a local Mini dealership that shares these little benefits with their customers.
