trains, planes and automobiles: RI Air show Weekend

i guess it's the tomboy in me, but there's something about air shows that i cannot resist. i like them almost as much as i like carnivals and festivals! :) i remember years ago my babysitter at the time took me and my bro (maybe sis too, not sure if she existed yet) to the air show and it was such an exhilarating experience.  the rhode island one doesn't fail to delight, year after year, with the blue angels and many other awesome acts on the agenda.  this year we watched it from my aunt & uncle's backyard overlooking wickford harbor and although the day was very grey (and a little rainy), it was just as good as i remembered it!  it was the first time mz had ever seen an air show and i think he was impressed so hopefully we can get back there for it next year.

that weekend i also picked up the sister from the train station.  ahhh how i miss the days traveling to and from ri by rail.  darn amtrak, lower your prices please so i can justify taking the train again instead of driving the dreaded 95 new england corridor!  no pics of the train, so just close your eyes and use your imagination :).

plus marc-o took us for a ride in his car. which had been 'resting' in the garage for a few years but is now back in action...and better than ever!
