Damn ya’ll are some fruitcakes. The air and water show is an amazing event
We've heard them where Uptown & Edgewater meet but it's hard to catch sight of them because of all the buildings along Sheridan and Marine Drive. Still really cool. My late father was a WWII Seabee so... 🇺🇸
best week of the year
Best thing ever
