things to do in san diego: Miramar Air Show 2010 - Out of the Ordinary - 10/07/10 07:01 PM
For someone who likes to take pictures, the Miramar Air Show is as close to heaven as you can get. I took over 500 photos and have had an incredible time going through them to find my favorites. For me, some of the best shots are ones that are simply interesting, not for their perfection but for their unusual and out of the ordinary perspectives or simply because they make you look at them twice. Here are a few of those from the show:

things to do in san diego: Wings of An Angel - Miramar Air Show 2010 - 10/07/10 11:11 AM
The Miramar Air Show not only captures incredible sights and sounds of the military and aviation industry, but it also demonstrates how patriotic most of us are and how proud we are to be Americans. From the singing of the National Anthem, the young soldiers assisting us through the base, and the flag waving spectators... this land is our land and I am grateful for those who risk their lives to protect and defend us. God bless America. I dedicate these pictures to those pilots past and present who soared on the "wings of an angel"...

Canadian Snowbirds to those of us in real estate, usually means the Canadians that come down to our sun belts during the winter season. In the desert many of our buyers were "Canadian Snowbirds" and we always looked forward to greeting our neighbors from the north!
On Friday at the Miramar Air Show, the Canadians were proudly represented by nine of their best pilots performing for us. The Canadian Forces Snowbirds is an Air Force squadron that has been performing at air shows for forty years.
As an American Air Force brat and spectator of many military air shows, I can … (4 comments)

things to do in san diego: Boeing Harrier at the Miramar Air Show 2010 - 10/06/10 10:07 AM
Wow! If you have never seen one of these planes in action, it is probably the most jaw dropping display of a specialized aircraft's capabilities that I have ever seen. The AV-8B Harrier, also called a Jump Jet, is a short take-off, vertical landing tactical strike aircraft. Reaching speeds up to Mach 1, this plane is something out of the future. The video below was taken using my flip video camera and is not as clear as I would have liked, but it shows you the versatility of this plane and is well worth viewing the 2 minute clip.

One of the highlights of the "ground" show at Miramar Air Show this weekend was Kent Shockley's "ShockWave". This triple engine, Peterbilt truck is said to be capable of 36,000 hp at the speed of sound. This vehicle has more than enough fire power and reaches speeds of 300 mph!

Shelter Island in San Diego is one of the most beautiful spots in San Diego to view boats, the downtown horizon and the waterfront community.

Shelter Island also is home to the "Tunaman's Memorial", a large life-like bronze sculpture by Franco Vianello which is dedicated to the courageous local tuna fishermen who were part of the legacy of tuna fishermen in San Diego. The marble plaque reads, … (0 comments)

things to do in san diego: Camp Cuyamaca Outdoor School in Descanso, California - 09/20/10 02:09 PM
On our way back from lunch in Julian we stopped by Camp Cuyamaca in Descanso. Camp Cuyamaca is where every sixth grader in San Diego public schools is provided the opportunity to spend a week under the leadership of trained camp counselors and their classroom teachers. It is an opportunity for the students to explore the outdoors and is truly an adventure away from their families (many for the first time) and is a great learning experience in nature.
My children and husband attended Camp Cuyamaca, as did thousands of San Diego sixth graders, over the past 60 years of … (4 comments)

things to do in san diego: Balboa Park Attractions Not on the List - 09/02/10 02:08 PM
Balboa Park has so many sights/sites to visit that sometimes you just need to sit down to decide where to go next and what to see. And sometimes.... sitting down on a park bench provides you even more interesting entertainment than the museums and manufactured attractions. For instance watching the trick bikes was thrilling and the Segway riders were simply amusing. I consider these Balboa Park attractions not on the list and free entertainment!

Yesterday was another beautiful day in San Diego and I decided to head over to Balboa Park to walk around to see what is new. One of my favorite museums at Balboa Park is the San Diego Air & Space Museum and while taking a photo of the front of it, a plane, on its descent to land at Lindbergh Field, passed over head.
I simply don't have a caption for this photo... it is one of those times that when I look at it there are too many quirky thoughts racing through my mind and it leaves me... speechless.
