Fleet Week

Last week was Fleet Week in San Francisco. Definitely the coolest time to visit. You get clear, beautiful weather (except Saturday ... they apparently canceled the air show due to cloud cover) and the Blue Angels flying over the Bay Bridge.

On Friday we took the boys to see the Blue Angels. We opted to view the show from the Ferry Building, versus heading to Pier 39 or the Marina. This way we avoided the crowds, but still got to see plenty of air show action.

Our preschoolers appreciated the air show, but after about thirty minutes they got bored and started playing with their trains. The adults on the other hand sipped our Blue Bottle coffee, ate steamed chicken buns from Out the Door, and were in awe of the contrast between the City by the Bay, and six FA-18 Hornet aircraft flying overhead.
