No seriously, guess? 
The airshow!
It was my first time experiencing an airshow and it..was...awesome. I thought it would be geared towards a certain, ahem, clientele of people: hillbilly's and hicks. And mostly I was correct, but really it was so cool.
That morning we dressed in our hiking duds and headed out to a nearby nature preserve to do a quick hike. Along the way we saw the signs for the airshow and decided what the heck, why not, and we pulled in with other cars heading into NAS Jax. Before we knew it we were in the traffic line for the parking area and then we found ourselves being directed into a parking space in what was surely the worlds largest parking lot. At that point we were locked in so we headed into the airshow completely unprepared with no snacks, water, cash or folding chair (everyone had one). It was super fun and Piper was a total trooper. The planes were amazing and LOUD! and I was sure that at any moment one was going to go crashing into the crowd in a gigantic fire ball blaze.

We headed home around noon for naptime, and that was a good thing because on our way out we heard that once the Blue Angels started flying no one is allowed in or out of the airshow, and that following their performance the previous day there was a 2.5 hour traffic jam to exit the navy grounds! good god!

She is dressed just like Meg- who last night wore a ghana soccer jersey, camo pants and pink tights out to dinner.
PS consider this my last comment ever unless some reciprocation starts back up.
Awww!! I've been considering taking my son to the one nearest to us, but I am not sure if he will really enjoy it yet at his age. Then again...we won't be able to go again till summer 2011 so...mabybe I will have to consider it. Looks like fun!
