Fleet Week 2011

 After a disappointing Fleet Week back in '09, when the Blue Angels canceled their show at the last minute (after we'd already spent three hours waiting for them), we decided to try again this year. Elements of our successful air show experience: perfect weather, a couple extra kids to entertain James and Sadie, binoculars, arriving early enough to get good parking, watching the aircraft carriers and battleships cruise into the bay under the Golden Gate bridge, the appearance of a stealth bomber, and, yes, the Blue Angels.
