Baltimore Fleet Week


There are definitely times when it's not bad living so close to the port of Baltimore.  This week was one of those times.  The Port of Baltimore tried to recapture some of the magic of the Star Spangled Celebration of a few years ago and hold their first Fleet Week complete with Navy ships and the Blue Angels.  Ordinarily I'm a huge fan of boats and air shows, but today with the weather being absolutely gorgeous and the sky being perfectly clear, it was even more perfect.  

The Harbor looked even more gorgeous sparkling in the sun with all the ships hanging about.  And it was really nice to see the military guys chatting with kids and their families. Even the Canadian military was on hand to give tours of their boats.  Being so close to the home of the Navy in Annapolis, you sort of lose sight of just how special it is to see ships and planes up close like this, but during a celebration like Fleet Week you realize just how awesome they really are!

A Star Spangled Spectacular

I may be a little biased but Baltimore was looking quite snazzy this weekend!

Andrews AFB Air Show

Today I finally got the pleasure of seeing the Blue Angels!  I've been dying to for a while now.  Last year, I was supposed to see them from a boat when they were in town for the USNA graduation, but apparently they got dressed down for some infraction or another and long story short I spent 4 hours on a boat looking at water instead of really cool planes.  Anyway, my dad and I spent a fantastic father-daughter day checking out the planes, choppers and automobiles.  Then seeing the coolest aerobatic maneuvers ever!  Now, I'm counting down the days until they're back next month for the Star-Spangled Sailabration!
