Our Summer Vacation - Blue Angels over Pensacola Beach

[Daddy'O]

Hey, we're back from Pensacola! We had a great time. Got to see some old friends & got to do some serious relaxing on the beach.

The highlight was being able to watch the Blue Angels airshow over Pensacola Beach. We've been in P'cola in the past & have got to see the Blues practice. But this was the first time we actually got to see the show.

Here are SEVERAL photos. Hope you enjoy!


Hey-Hey-Hey....it's FAT ALBERT!!!



Here come the Blue Angels -

And there they go!







Landing gear down -





So close you can almost touch it!









Off they go!







They are a sight to behold. Never get tired of that sound!

Here's the family waiting on the show to start.

The majority of the photos were taken by oldest son, John. I honestly don't know how he was able to capture so many good photos with our cheap digital camera. Good job John

I'd love to have seen the show. I am amazed, though, that the beach seems so empty. I would have thought it would be packed.

Wayne,

Awesome pictures and glad you guys had a great trip.

I knew ya'll were leaving but it's been quiet around here without ya'll.

Welcome home, I'm sure your excited to get back to work.

Thanks guys~ There are a couple of reasons the beach seems so "empty".
1. We were about 1 mile or so from the Main Stage area so it's mostly condo people.
2. The original Saturday show got rained out (and that's putting it lightly) and had to be rescheduled for Sunday and a lot of people had to either get back home or just decided it wasn't worth it. Not to mention that the weather was iffy for Sunday as well. We just lucked out. Because 30 min. AFTER the show it came another thunder boomer!

I suppose we're glad to be home. Sigh.....it's so nice down there. Makes it HARD to come home! Ha! The boyz were glad to get back to their friends. Somethin' about hangin' with Mom and Dad.....boring.....?? HA!! They have both since left to "live with friends" for a few days. Sheesh~ Oh, well - makes it kinda nice for Daddy'O and me. HEE!!!

Oh, and Matt ~ Daddy'O doesn't go back to work until the 23rd! WHOA!!! How's THAT for a vacation!!?
