{Air Show: 2012}

I mentioned that we attended our first air show as a family of 5. Pretty shocking news for most, considering that we are a military family and for the majority of Jason’s career we lived on base where we had direct access. 

When you are married to someone who doesn’t like big crowds, you tend to skip town for events such as an air show that draws in thousands upon thousands of people.

This year, things were different. First, the THUNDERBIRDS were the staring act and second, we are the proud parents of a BOY!!!!

I know I’m a little biased on this subject but I did spend 5 years living on a Navy base and I have been surrounded by Marines and Army most of my life. Although I love them all, I can still say without a doubt that the Air Force has the BEST looking planes in the military =) They do after all have my favorite planes! 

I was very excited to have the opportunity to be able to see the Thunderbirds. We have been a military family for over 13 years, and I had never seen the Thunderbirds up close. Yes I took COMPLETE ADVANTAGE of the situation!!! Having a little boy who loves jets and is fascinated by the life of a soldier was completely on my side!!

I’m not sure who walked out of the door with a bigger smile that morning, Trav or mommy but by the end of the day we were all in pretty good spirits. Trav’s new quote in life these days “when I grow up and go to the United States Air Force….”
