Yucatan Playa Del Carmen February 12, 2018

Sunset at a private Beach at Playa Del Carmen

Our Airbnb unit came with access to this lovely beach and a small pool.  Unfortunately, we didn't see it till sunset, since we went exploring and got stuck in the heavy traffic.  We couldn't even find a restaurant without a gated community, so we went to a local grocery store for food.

Patuxent River Air Expo Featured the Blue Angels June 2, 2018

We braved the weatherman's dire predictions and went to the Patuxent River Airshow 2018 on Saturday.  Did we get lucky!  The thunderstorm hit right after the Blue Angels performance toward the end of the show.  We saw some favorites like Patty Wagstaff, the Shockwave Jet Truck, The P-51 Mustang and F-4U Corsair and of course the Blues.

 Since I wasn't sure if the weather would cooperate for the Air Expo this weekend, I photographed the Blue Angels in California and Lexington Park, MD on Friday afternoon.
