Reno Air Races

Last weekend we made a super quick trip to Reno, NV to attend the last two days of the National Championship Air Races. After spending Friday in the ER with Bill, he still wanted to go, so I packed us up and we headed out. Here we are Saturday morning in the bleachers, after about 3 hours of sleep.


We saw a whole lot of exciting races, beautiful and screaming fast planes, and a whole lot of sun. It was a jam-packed full two days and Bill made it through in spite of the fevers and painful elbow. We saw awesome demos by the Thunderbirds, the Air Force's F22, and quite a few incredibly talented aerobatic pilots. It was a very exciting and exhausting weekend.

Now that we are back home and back to a regular schedule, Bill isn't quite healed, but he is heading in that direction.

Megan and I were trying to take a few self portraits that would show our brightly colored hair, but we weren't too successful. You can see a tiny bit of my pink and her red here.


When she walked away, I got a really good picture of her red. It's faded a lot now, and the shampoo we used in the hotel stripped the red out pretty bad (live and learn), but it was a really great color red for about a week. :)

The Reno Air Races are really exciting if you get the chance to attend. Especially if you have a passion for airplanes like Bill does. I've gotten all the pictures posted on our family site, and you can see them here: http://www.strahanfamily.com/FamilyPhotos/RenoSep08.asp.
