I grew up watching these from all around Florida – on a clear day you can see it from across the state. It’s bittersweet to see the sendoff.

Super awesome to see both planes in the air like that. Nice.

I was lucky enough to have a conference down at National Harbor today, so I got to see the flyover while biking down M street, going across the 14th street bridge and riding along the MVT at gravelly point. It was great to see so many people out on bikes.

Nice ride from DC down to Nat Harbor, although I wasn’t expecting the crushed shell path at the end.

It was really cool to see hundreds of people all up on roof tops. It was like in Independence Day, just without the alien attack.

I had the Slim Whitman channel up on Pandora just in case things went badly.

My husband’s facebook post yesterday: “The modes of transportation Sydney and I saw today – feet, bikes, rollerblades, segways, motorcycles, cars, trucks, buses, boats, planes, helicopters, heli-plane (V-22 Osprey), airplanes, and a space ship It’s a good day!”

Some days, you just want to be a stay at home dad.

And I have to ask, what no skateboard or horse?

I’m pretty sure no balloons, but I can double check on the skateboard and horse…
