Air Show - San Diego

A year or two ago Ryan and I went to an Air Show in San Diego. It was really fun, be we went late, and didn't get to see many things. Plus, we got to sit in an hour of traffic leaving the event. We just planned it all wrong. So this past Fall we decided to go again and do it right this time. We went for a full day - or atleast tried, because it rained in the morning. We parked outside the military base and rode our bikes in, and we planned to be there all day! We had a great time and some of our friends came and met us there. What we learned this year, is not to forget your camera or your chairs...

Next year we will be SO prepared! We did have a blast though!
The year before this one we got to see the Blue Angels. This year we were able to see the Thunderbirds. They were amazing! They would fly over us coming in from all directions. Most often we knew where they were coming from, but one time we were watching something to the left then from behind us to the right came this airplane going at top speed, and he flew directly over us! We didn't even know what happened as we couldn't even hear the plan until it had already passed! The entire crowd jumped with fright and surprise and then laughter as we all realize that the pilots were having their fun with us...

We can't wait to go again next year!

Okay- had you read my blog about the airshow you would have had a list of the do's and don'ts... however; riding your bikes in is a fabulous idea!! We love the airshow but I think that next year I will send Colin with the older 2.. We loved the raptor- so cool!
