Our chapter enjoyed the air museum and then stopped at Dairy Queen for ice cream. Then we continued on to see the Trinity Heights where we saw a life size last supper and 30 foot statue of Mary and a 33 foot statue of Jesus in a beautiful garden. We enjoyed Friday evening meal at the BP Restaurant and again Saturday breakfast.
