The Air Show

I wasn't going to blog about this as my very first blog, but since it was the first time I actually figured out how to send pictures from my camera phone (my digital camera was tragically injured in London), I decided that I might as well say a little something about it. I mean, there are pictures and everything.

Myself, my dad, my dad's girlfriend Lisa, and my sister and I headed out to Travis Air Force base for the air show. I love the military, and I love airplanes, so I had a lot of fun. It's so funny to see my dad at things like this: he's like a kid. Though I am interested in the planes, I can't name them all, and I definitely can't tell you anything remotely interesting about them. I was at least kept from yawning by the fact that my dad knew the names of every single plane, and went on and on telling us (I can admit it) interesting stories about most of the planes we saw.


We didn't stay for the whole show, but saw a few of the "performances" (for lack of better term). The coolest one was when they raced a plane against a jet-car. The flame coming off the back of the car was about twice the length of the car itself and though it started out slower than the plane, took over the lead with no problem by the end. Insane.


Anyways, here are some pictures....
