Fleet Week 2011

Every few months, we brave going into San Francisco to enjoy a little city life and remind ourselves why we live in the suburbs :) Last weekend was fleet week in the city and since we have a 2 year old that is infatuated with any form of transportation, we decided to incorporate trains, boat, and planes into one big adventure.
We started off the day by heading to the train station to take the "choo choo" into the city.


Waiting for the train. This was also the subway station, so Ian was pointing to the other "train" and trying to get us to go on it

Still waiting...

Ian spots the train!

Once we got into the city we took the trolley to the waterfront and after a nice lunch, found a spot to see some boats and airplanes.

This is one of the first planes we saw.

Followed by this awesome Canadian group of flyers

Their planes were white on one side and red on the other

They made some awesome formations

Emma wanted her picture with one of the airplanes

Ian having fun at the show
The airshow ended with the Blue Angels

Flying behind one of the ships; Alcatraz is on the right

They were truly and awesome sight
We ended the day with a subway trip back to our car with two tired, happy kids enjoying all their favorite forms of transportation.
