Honey, I'm home!
Aug. 12th, 2013 06:06 pmkira's back from visiting Michigan for an air show. A pity this current administration is a bunch of dickwads, who felt it necessary to cut funding for the demo teams. Thank you, dumbarses for putting a lot of people out of business, but you go right ahead & waste money on stupidity like Obama Care which works about as well as my broken Pikachu watch. >.> Did I have a good time despite the lack of headliners like the Thunderbirds & Blue Angels, hell yeah! But it seriously could have been better. *sighs*
highlights: The WWII reenactment of some battle between America & Germany. Very cool! They had tanks & explosions & a small fleet of Kübelwagens! :D (only kira can go to an airshow & have a fangasm over a car. XD)
Watching the warbirds fly, listening to a Viet Nam vet tell me about what it's like to ride in a Huey Helicopter. XD If he wasn't so ansty about the sound, I'd have asked him more about his experience. I also enjoyed hearing some of the history that the announcer talked about when various warbirds flew by. I also loved the pinup art a lot of the bigger planes had on their noses. Very classy cheescake, even if some of it was crudely drawn! ;p
lowlights: getting up at 6 in the morning to be there at 7, getting sunburned despite putting on SPF 70 sunblock & repeating it during the day (my lower lip got sunburned & now it's swollen), not getting to eat some Tim Horten's donuts cuz the stupid place was closed. T.T
midlights: the county fair that was around the block form the hotel, far, but still close enough to smell the livestock *laughs*, getting a cute military style hat in Target (we went for supplies there), pringles, McDonald's ice cream for dessert in the airport after eating Quiznos (which was okay), getting my pic taken next to a Kübelwagen (& its fake!Nazi driver, cuz Dad called him a gentleman & his WTF reaction to that was priceless! *snorts*), getting waved at by a bunch of "GI's" as they drove by only to have their German counterparts completely ignore everyone, which I found amusing. ;p
