Tonight we went to the annual Pancho Barnes Party here on base. We drove out to the middle of the desert and had barbeque and listened to a band. They did tours of the ruins of The Happy Bottom Riding Club.Apparently, the AF wanted to buy her land so they could extend a runway. She didn't want to sell. Not long after that, a fire burned down most of the buildings on her property. (hmmm) The runway was never extended. What's left are a few walls to the barn, some concrete slabs, a stone fountain that was in the middle of the courtyard, and a chimney where the dance hall and bar once stood. We had a good time.
On another note, Connor lost his first tooth. He was so glad when he woke up and realized the tooth fairy had visited him during the night.
