The first time I saw the Blue Angels flying their Hornets was at Luke AFB. I was with my dad and we had scored passes to their practice show before the public shows they did that week-end. It was pretty sweet. They did the awesome bit where we were watching the diamond when the solo jet came cruising up low and fast from behind us. He was ahead of the sound so we were all looking up at the other jets when suddenly there he is – and then the wall of noise hit us. A lot of people yelled and jumped – not me though. (right?) Anyway that was such an awesome day. One thing that might top it is catching them at Fleet Week in San Francisco.

And if you will indulge me – there is nothing more beautiful than sailing under the Golden Gate bridge after a cruise. We had to lower some of the antennae on the island to squeak under but it was all joy coming home.
