Commissioning Week Blue Angels

On Wednesday, May 21, The Blue Angels performed over the Severn River and the Naval Academy as they traditionally do for Commissioning Week. Jeff took the afternoon off and we loaded up our lawn chairs and headed over to the Marine Corp Stadium. You can park there and ride a bus over to the yard or walk the mile walk over. Jeff and I chose to walk it...quite a work-out! People come from far and wide and it seemed like school was out for the occasion! Of course, you can spot the proud families with their ready to graduate mids. It's quite a festive atmosphere! Not even the clouds and the few sprinkles could dampen the spirits. Right on time "Fat Albert" which is a big cargo plane enters first and begins the show. When the rest of the jets make their entrance it's pretty amazing! And loud! It's worth the wait!
