A week with the Blues

Making our way to watch the Blues practice

This give you an idea how close they are to the house. They get even closer at some parts of the show!

The pink jeep that the girls never used so Steve and Michelle gave it to them...Steve and Dad have vowed to paint it Auburn colors!!!

We are so spoiled having my parents live out at the beach. We were able to see the Blues practice 3 days in a row with the fourth day being the actual air show. It was great to watch the Blues fly on Wednesday morning. Once we saw them beginning their practice we headed to the Gulf side where they practiced for almost an hour and 45 minutes! As I said to my Dad, "Watching the Blues NEVER gets old!" It is amazing to see the maneuvers the pilots are trained to do. It's also great to have Dad explain everything too!

Thursday Aunt Cathy came in to town. It was so nice to see her since It has been over a year since we saw her. This was Aunt Cathy's first time seeing the Blues and she was also amazed at the practices and Blues airshow. By Friday there were a lot of people coming to the beach to watch the dress rehearsal of the Blues. However, it was Saturday when traffic came to a standstill on the bridge to the island at 7am for the airshow that started at noon. It was a huge difference compared to last year after the oil spill. It was great to see tourists and locals come out to support our Navy Blue Angels! We can't wait until next year for another fun Blues weekend!
