Weekend Recap: Fleet Week!

Fleet Week is always one of my favorite times of year. It comes in October which, if you know San Francisco, is "summer" here. (One of the reasons we got married in October, but that's next week's post!) :)

I've gone to the Fleet Week Air Show in years past with my sister's family and enjoyed the show on the Marina Green. Joe and I have continued the tradition (save last year when he was in Las Vegas for his bachelor party!) We park our car at his aunt's house in the Marina district and walk down to the Marina Green with the Golden Gate bridge to the east of us and a view of Marin county to the north of us. A picture perfect place to watch the Navy's amazing Blue Angels do their demonstration flight.

Even the million visitors in San Francisco this weekend could deter us from our Saturday adventure. Joe was so excited to use his new camera lenses to get some close ups of the planes. We got our picnic lunch from Safeway on our walk down to the Green. We found a great spot, set up our chairs and enjoyed our afternoon on the grass with the Air Show. Enjoy some pictures from our fun day!

Ready for the Blue Angels!
Aww, Joe the budding photographer.
