fleet week in the city

I'm a bit behind in my blog posts here, just been so busy doing stuff to sit down and write about it all... anyway a few weeks ago Bryce's mum, Cathy and Gene came to visit us for the week which just happened to be Fleet week, so we headed up to the city to Fisherman's Wharf to watch the planes fly over the bay

we grabbed a quick bite to eat

and headed to the waterfront

to see the planes

and waited for the Blue Angels

(Bryce, me, Mike, Gene, Cathy & Andres)

I found some very young sailors to snap a pic with

I think they were cadets

found some cute kids

saw this boat capsize

not sure what these ones were called but I loved the red white and blue smoke they shot out

the Blue Angels made a very brief show and then cancelled due to fog...

which was disappointing, but some didn't seem to mind either way...

so we headed to the pub instead!

Cathy and I had a quick shot with the fireries

and then did the touristy thing

(Gene, Cathy, Bryce)

and after watching a guy propose to his girlfriend in front of a whole bunch of people at Pier 39 we headed out to dinner

at the Stinking Rose

a garlic restaurant

I had the fish, which of course came with copious amounts of garlic

saw an angel

and then headed home...
