Had a 4-day weekend, so we decided to fly to San Antonio to visit our good friends and celebrate a couple of birthdays.  About 1000 the morning of our departure:  beautiful day, but unfortunately a high was passing through wich meant wind!  Tonya is a fairly nervous flyer – especially in turbulence.  Putting on her best smile: 
Just had the Dynon radio and intercom installed.  Really convenient how the radio interfaces with the Skyview.  Also nice to have the music input on the intercom:

 Also had the Dynon ADS-B module installed – great to get a traffic picture outside of the terminal environment:
Time for our fuel stop.  Very windy!!  Glad this was down the runway and not across it:
Saw this beauty gassing up:

Welcome to Brookhaven-Lincoln County, MS:

 Beginning to cloud up, but seems to be localized in Louisiana.  Looking at the METARs down the road show Texas in the clear:
Beautiful weather as we enter into Texas:

 Safe and sound in San Antonio:
Coincidentally, and I say coincidentally because I’m currently building an RV-10, there was an RV-10 at the other end of the row:

 You know you’re in Texas when the FBO building looks like this:
Love San Antonio!

 My friend’s children watching some Mexican folk dancing – nice cowgirl hat Sophia!

Wonderful to be with friends and their family:

 Enjoying some ice cream in Fredericksburg:
I won’t say what number comes before the 2 and 5 ;)

 All too quickly it was time to return to the airport:
Filed IFR at 7000 for the first return leg:

 Before long we were above a solid overcast:
Flew the second leg VFR – stayed under the overcast layer that was between 3-4k:

 About an hour from home, the overcast began to break up:
The rest of the flight was uneventful, and without pics as it ended under a starry sky.
