San Francisco Fleet Week


I didn't know much about Fleet Week until recently, so here is a little background. Fleet Week originated in 1908 and became a San Francisco annual tradition in 1981. Fleet Week is now the Bay Area’s opportunity to pay tribute to the men and women of our nation’s Navy and Marine services. Fleet Week features Navy ships dock-side, while the Blue Angels and other aircraft fly above the San Francisco Bay.

Mike and I made a trip to San Francisco to visit a friend and to attend Fleet Week. Below is a picture of us on top of Kirk's building's roof that over looks the Bay! So awesome!!


It was pretty cloudy that day and unfortunately we were only able to see the Blue Angel's make 2 or 3 passes. I was however able to take an awesome picture of them flying in front of the bridge.


Below is another picture I took. I can't begin to explain the sound and feeling you have as they fly over you! It's insane!!


Over all, very fun trip and I'm open to going again next year :)
