Thunder Over Utah

Back in March, G and I went down to St George for the Thunder Over Utah Air Show.  After discovering that all the hotels in the area were booked, we decided to try a Bed and Breakfast.  It was a cute little place in the old part of the city.  G got to use the phone booth to call the front desk to let us in.
After checking in, we took a walk around to get dinner and cupcakes, then off to find the statue of G's great great great etc grandpa, and I got to kiss a frog.


The next morning we got a hearty breakfast, which started off with baked apples in these fun bowls (we're obviously into our food).

And then off to the air show we went!
 It started out with this car seat in the middle of nowhere.  Whoever had that seat likely had a good view.
 The USMC MV-22 Osprey.  We were both in awe of it's coolness.




 The USAF F-22 Raptor.  Also very cool.
 Wing Walking show - it made me nervous.
 And the Blue Angels.  For the last part of the show we moved to the parking area so we could exit quicker.  We ended up having a much better view, and it only took us 2 hours to get out of the parking area.  Just as the show was ending, the wind picked up, and dirt was EVERYWHERE.  I was glad we were so close to our car.
After this picture, our camera decided to stop working.

What do you get when you have incredible wind, kettle corn, and an air show?
