The weather and sky was so nice, the mosquito’s decided to join us too. Haha

I spend quite a bit of time in the Tysons/McLean area of Fairfax County in Virginia.

Those familiar with the area might know the Mitretek (I think they’re called Noblis now)/Northrop Grumman complex just inside the Beltway off of Route 123.

I found the above picture on the Northrop Grumman side. It felt like a ’small town’ in an ever expanding sea of concrete… especially on Memorial Day.

Thanks Northrop Grumman… nice touch.

Blue Angels Diamond Formation, originally uploaded by craig42k.

My kids and I went to the NAS Pax River Air Expo to see the Blue Angels this afternoon. I actually worked on that base years ago, so it was kind of cool to see the base again.

This was was my kids first air show. They enjoyed the Blue Angels Demonstration team and the weather was off the hook!

Above is a pic of the Blue Angels in diamond formation. It really doesn’t do the experience justice, but I thought it’d be nice to share anyways
