Anyway, someone in my house was super excited so we wandered down there at 9:00am with blankets, binoculars and a lunch. It's a gorgeous sunny, warm day so no complaints here.
The Snowbirds were scheduled for 12:30, but there were other military planes doing flybys - including a fighter jet - super cool. The Snowbirds though - they are awesome. They train in Moose Jaw, where I grew up so I'm no stranger.
That aircraft carrier is huge hey? It's American, Canada doesn't have an aircraft carrier. I was hoping the fighter jet that was on it would take off, but no such luck.So tonight we're hanging out at home nursing slightly red noses from too much sun.

Is it ziggy who was excited? ;)
Super funny comment about the aircraft carrier (not seeing it again).
I almost called you today to say "hey, wanna go see She Wants Revenge in Seattle next Saturday?" Wouldn't that be fun, but I keep forgetting I have to pack. Like today, I should have packed and instead I watched the two Twilight movies. They are truly fascinating.
I was once on a tour of an aircraft carrier...it is a 'trip.' Check it out if you can.
T.A.N.T.

Rawbean - WHAT?! Ohmigod I would LOVE to see them...but oh....yeah, I have to save money. (sigh)
A - That would be SUPER cool. I bet I would be scared. Because I'm like that.
It's 100 years for the navy, not 200! Get yer Canadiana straight, Jabba! :)
Wish I could have seen more from the Esquimalt side of things. We were (where else?) at the Harbour, so we only saw the Snowbirds from afar.
Dana - Holy typo!! I knew, that I really did. :)
