Pilgrims and Pioneers: Met Life Blimp Overhead!

Welcome To Pilgrims and Pioneers!

After many years of researching my family geneaology I have been lucky enough to discover actual information about my relatives that lived in the Pilgrim Era and the Pioneer Era- while many people also have realtives from those eras- many do not know their names or where they lived- actually seeing the proof in print makes you much more aware of who they really were.
After discovering these relatives it of course made me curious to learn more about the eras that they lived in and what their lives were like as, the history I learned in grade school had long since been forgotten.
I decided to start this blog for others who are also interested in these eras.
Some of the information here will be actual facts about my realtives and some will be information about the eras in general that I have found on the web.
I hope you will enjoy traveling back in time with me!

Met Life Blimp Overhead!

My son called me about an hour ago and said "go out into your front yard and look East".

Of course I did and the Met Life Blimp was flying over head. It was low enough that I could see the basket( or what ever it is called) underneath. I am not sure where it was coming from or where it is headed for sure but, I see next week it is going to be at the John Deere Classic next week - that is only about 60 miles away from me.

The Met Life website does have a schedule- you can check the schedule & if it is near you - you may see it too!
