(See Sept. 26th post on this Fleet Week event for background information)
It was absolutely perfect weather for the Blue Angels' San Francisco performance!
Below is a series of photos I snapped while waiting for the show to begin. When the Blue Angels began, I did the best I could with what I got, which is a very old, cheap camera. For better photos, check out the San Francisco Chronicle
Photos don't do justice to the show. The sights, sounds and "oh-ah" of the crowds add to the overall experience.
Crowd forming at 9:00 a.m.
Millions of dollars were spent rebuilding this famous Vista Point. The tribute to our military is worth a visit, all four branches of the military are highlighted in granite and marble.
Getting packed by 11am
By 1:00 p.m. folks were getting anxious for the big birds to arrive
Diana is happy today - she gets to just relax most of the day - a rare event!
"Getting There is Half the Fun!" We are trying to spread the word
More goods arriving from China?
Can you stand up in the black car pictured below along side our motor home? Can you shower in it? Does it have a toilet and sink, queen-sized bed, recliner and sofa? Does it have a full kitchen with microwave oven? How about a side-by-side refrigerator-freezer? They are about the same length, but which would you prefer to travel in? The only thing you can do in the black car is sit.
By 1:00 p.m. the place was packed with hundreds of folks anxious for the show to begin
Absolutely no parking available
Let the show begin!
Thanks for pictures. Looks like you and the wife had a great time. Ellen is in Disney Land with grandkids, I am playing dog nanny.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics Mike. Looks like you got there early enough for a place to park.
ReplyDeleteWe arrived the day before and just slept in the MH. That pretty much guarantees you a parking spot. I was bbq'ing some chicken and the aroma was spreading around to the tour busses unloading tourists from China/Japan. They were interested in the food, and asked for a tour of the MH interior. I didn't have enough food to share (about a dozen mingled over in our area) but gave them a tour of the interior. They were very impressed with the bathroom and full shower.
