Day 73, Sunday, 03/09/08

The Blue Angels!
Wow!
There is absolutely nothing I can say, or any pictures, or any videos I can post that will come remotely close to describing the awsome sights and sounds of six blue and gold Navy F-18's flying so close that you think you could reach up and touch them. It was 85 at the air show yesterday and we had goosebumps during most of their performance.

A few pictures are posted below and four different videos are on the blog home page. Hope you enjoy them, but if ever you get a chance to see these guys in person - Do It!

The link below will take you to photos someone took in San Francisco at a Blue Angels show last year. Excellent pictures and the link to a video at the end "3 sneak passes" is really neat!

Our campground friends (Steve & Colleen) who have a Golden Retriever "Abby" attended the air show with us.
We had to carry these chairs a long way, but what a great "plus" for watching the "Blue's".
