Today was pretty boring.  Big highlight of the day was “the boy’s” semi annual trip to the dentist.  I am sure he appreciated spending the first “official” day of his break there.

Other than that.. nothing to report.

Well today’s entry will be very short as I am exhausted tonight, hopefully my writing won’t be a bunch of typos and goobely gook. 

Today we spent time at the Colorado Springs Air Show at the “Old Airport”.  I am not much on attending Air shows, attending many during my “short” stint in the Air Force, but we thought attending one that I didn’t have to “work” at would be a nice change of pace.  Throw in the fact that my dad came up to see the show (he and my son are both “airplane geeks”) and we got free tickets it was even nicer.

I personally thought the show was a bit of a disappointment.  Static displays were slim and the aerial part was fairly small.  Throw in the fact that the scheduled “headliners”, the Canadian Snow Birds, didn’t show the whole thing was a bit of a downer (especially, after the event organizers charged us an additional $2.00 for parking just because the Snow birds were supposed to be here). 

I still had a decent time.  The weather turned out to be nicer than expected, and I was with my family, but I probably won’t be going back next year…   well, unless I get free tickets again.

I forgot the camera at home so no pictures tonight.  My dad and step mom both had camera’s so maybe well get a few pictures soon.

By the way how was the Bronco game today?  I mean I know they won, but we didn’t get to watch any of the game today due to the Air Show.
