We were pretty tired today, so we slept until 9am. Dad’s 90th is tomorrow, so we joined the family taking him to the Wild Animal Park today. There’s more planned tomorrow, but also of interest to me today: driving the freeway we saw a 4-jet formation that I think was the Canadian Snowbirds team. They did a low pass with one leaving a dotted smoke trail, then returned to do a formation loop above the show just as we passed. Since I wasn’t driving, they then treated me to a formation spiral. Just before we were out of view, I was able to look back and see two of them passing low above the show with one inverted. Now that is fun!

Fun Thursday = Late Friday
We played hooky from packing Thursday to partake of SB treats. We had SB Zoo passes about to expire, so in one sweet hour we saw a diverse array of animals with a relaxed stroll in that took just an hour (details & pix in my EdHat post). Then we rambled an especially lively First Thursday on upper State, where we had several friends involved. We paid the price on Friday by leaving late, but it was worth it. We saw a few more SB treats from the air leaving town (words & pix in the above-mentioned EdHat post). We managed to get a route into San Diego that gave us a distant view of the Miramar Air Show, with two aerobatic jet teams parked amid acres of other fun flying stuff.
