As mentioned previously, the kids LOVE airplanes. J. had recently gotten into showing them youtube videos of air shows, which was a big hit. We decided that we should take them to a real air show, so we found ourselves at the Oxnard Air Force Base this weekend. Military culture feels about as familiar to us as an African safari, but the kids were right at home. They got to see a real WWI airplane with a wing-walker! They also got to sit in a real helicopter and they got to fly on the helicopter ride.
Unfortunately we decided to make the air show into a family vacation that went far a-rye. The kids have been really into hotels lately, so we booked a suit at an Oxnard hotel and thought we'd settle in for a relaxing weekend. The kids had other plans and went on a very painful sleep strike. We cut the vacation short and headed home early and are all very grateful to be back home. Next time we'll find an air show closer to home.
