The Blue Angels

Picking  up from where we left off…The USS Makin Island tour took way longer than we expected and we ended up leaving right around lunch time.  Since our next Fleet Week stop was to Crissy Field to see the Blue Angels, we stopped for lunch in the Marina. 

Pacific Catch anyone?  This is one of our FAVORITE places to eat and we always try to squeeze it in while we are visiting.  We shared the poke bowl and fried oysters.

But not the beer.  We don’t share beer.  #dealbreaker

On our way over to the field we could see the other shows going on overhead.

It was CRAZY when we got there.  There were a ton of people, vendors and military personnel there.  We made it in time to catch the last showing right before the Blue Angels.

And one of the America’s Cup judges going out to their spot.  Immediately following the air show was the America’s Cup boat race.  Yep, Fleet Week, America’s Cup, a Bluegrass Festival, Columbus Day parade, Giants in the playoffs, the 49ers were playing…all at the same time.

By now the crowds were out in force for the main event.

It was a great show!  Sunday we stayed close to home since I had an early afternoon flight.  It was a nice weekend away.
