It's been a beautiful weekend here in Wilmington, and Mark and I took full advantage of it yesterday! We walked Honey down to the Farmer's Market in the morning, and spent the entire afternoon at an air show :) The Wilmington Airport hosted a great show, which included TONS of static plane and helicopter displays, lots of stunt planes and fighter jets putting on a pretty cool show, and the Air Force Thunderbirds! This was my first air show, and I really enjoyed it, and of course, Mark had a blast too :) We've been seeing the Thurderbirds practicing over our house for the last couple of days, and it was nice to see them "officially" in action - they're very impressive! (We live so close to the airport that I can see them out the window right now for today's show!) Lily seemed to like them too... every time a plane taxied by us and made the ground shake, she started bouncing around :) See below for some pictures and short video clips.
