Joining the thousands of Delta employees, retirees, and their families, my family and I attended the 2nd Annual Block Party this past weekend at Delta’s World Headquarters in Atlanta. Being one of the newest members to the Delta family, it was a great opportunity for me to celebrate my new coworkers’ hard work and dedication over the past year.

When we arrived around 11am the party was already slamming with the tunes of Atlanta band Whild Peach. They covered some really cool songs. Apart from the liquid sunshine falling from the sky (which cleared up soon), everyone was in good spirits. Everywhere one would look, there were smiling faces. The Kids Zone was full of happy children taking advantage of all the fun activities, face painting and autograph signing from Jeff Francoeur seemed really popular. Even though it was raining on and off, there was a cool breeze to make the temperature just right. After grabbing a bite to eat from the Varsity and Chick-fil-A, we headed over to the Delta Air Elite private jet. It was great to get a chance to see how our premium passengers fly in style.

On the way back from seeing the Delta Spirit aircraft in Hangar 2, we arrived back at the tents just in time to catch The Flying Aces. Now this was something to see. Never before had I feasted my eyes on such amazing acrobatic maneuvers on a trampoline. These guys were amazing! I think they will have no problem competing in the next Olympics as synchronized performers. Of course, I was also amazed by the never-ending talents of our distinguished previous medal winners.

I am sure there is so much that I am leaving out. However, I have to say that it was a great day to be a part of Delta and be able to join in on the spirit that is what makes Delta such a cool place to work. Kudos to those who put such a fun day together!
