Fleet Week

This past week we kept hearing jets fly over and saw some planes in formation and thought it was great but didn't think much about it. On Friday, Josh came home and said it was Fleet Week!
Last year we went to the air show on Fleet Week with Josh's parents and had a blast. But we totally forgot about it this year. So we made a spontaneous decision on  Saturday and went down town to watch the planes. The kids LOVED it and Simeon just kept saying, "jets".
A while back Josh had gotten a smokin deal on groupon for a boat ride and so we decided to use it to have a good seat for the show. There is something so powerful about seeing the bottom of an F18 fly over your head and then hear the loud crackle of the engine follow it. Both Josh and my favorite was when we just looked up and saw the stealth bomber fly so close over our heads. It is an incredible bird and looks paper thin from the side view in the air. Josh also took some amazing pictures from under the Golden Gate Bridge on  the boat tour. Maybe someday one of them will make it to a frame on our wall.

  2. I know mom we were missing you and dad too. Sorry dad the Stealth was one of those ones where we were walking along, heard a huge sound, looked up and there it was right over us. Josh and I both looked at each other in amazement right after. So fun. Wish you could have been there.
