The question isn't "What are we going to do," the question is "What aren't we going to do?".

Before Laura and I head out west, we decided to go visit our friends the Lessmanns in Chicago. It was a great weekend as their apartment gave us a great setting for a BBQ and to watch the Chicago Air & Water Show. We also took in a show at the famed Second City in their Old Town neighborhood. With talk of the Cubs changing up or leaving Wrigley Field, I decided I wanted to go see it this summer and with their arch rivals the Cardinals in town, this was a no-brainer. I think you'll see from the pictures below, it was an amazing weekend!!

Portsmouth Air Show - 6.30.12

Laura and I added yet another activity to our ever-growing list of fun events when we attended the Portsmouth Air Show. As a kid I was a military aircraft enthusiast and even had aspirations of being a pilot. I frequently attended air shows back home in Fort Worth and even spent late afternoons with my dad at the end of the runway at Carswell AFB, watching the bombers and jets do their touch-and-go practice runs. Aaaah, the memories. Now it was time to create new ones with my wife as this would be her first air show. With the Blue Angels performing it was a no-brainer to set out that Saturday for a day of loud jets!!
