Duh! This was actually the biggest reason for going down to Cleveland. The Air Show was a lot of fun and very different from the Traverse City show. In TC, because it's much smaller, we were really treated like VIPs with food, drink, bathrooms, shade, etc. For this show, VIP meant a seat. That's it. Just a seat. We certainly made the best of it and still had a great time climbing aboard all of the many, many aircraft and displays. Sofie even got to meet some of the original Tuskegee Airmen and got their autographs. Very cool and historic! Todd and Sloan met us for the Coast Guard SAR demo. Unfortunately, it was blocked by the banks, so it looked, like Kailey said, as if Charlie was landing in the grass.
Finally, we got to see the Blues again and it was a longer show because they did the take-off right in front of us. Plus, 'Fat Albert' the C-130, had a much bigger part in this show. The Blues are always impressive and I think Sofie really enjoyed it! Owen again loved the show and danced, had a great time and flew his big jet around in the path of the Blue Angels. Kailey was ambivalent and only liked it when they played the Rascal Flats version of "Life is a Highway."
To top it all off, I have the most magnificent farmer's tan I've ever had. It's a lovely reminder of this fantastic weekend that I will get to keep until at least November!
