After looking all over the country, literally, we found just the right boat at Elmendorf AFB on Craig’s List. It’s a 2007 Bayliner 185 in great condition and able to pull lots of kids on tubes. Now we just need to support our gasoline habit.

The last Saturday in June we spent the day at Arctic Thunder, the air show at Elmendorf Air Force Base. It was a fantastic time! Lots of aerial displays by military and civilian aircraft. Plenty of static displays to walk through.

The most impressive demonstration was the F-22. It was amazing to see the things that aircraft can do. The F-22 show concluded with a tribute to veterans in a fly-by with a P-51 Mustang, the WWII fighter plane. It was a very emotional moment.
