Airplanes in the Night Sky

Tonight we went to the outskirts of Reagan International Airport to this janky park to watch the airplanes land. So cool, right? Well it is. We took a blanket and laid it out right at the start of the runway and watched the planes fly right above us. There really is nothing like it! Fun: lay down and have them fly over you then roll over really fast to watch them the rest of the way. More Fun: listen after the plane has past for the swoosh of air sound that follows. Funnest: go out in the field and when the plane gets closer start running with it then watch as the ground lights up around you when it flies overhead. Super fun: take jumping pictures with an airplane landing in the background. Slightly less fun but super entertaining: give your camera to the nice man who offers to take the picture so everyone can be in it then take 80+ practice pictures before the next airplane comes then when it does come have him miss the picture completely but it doesn't matter anyway because you're so tired after 90+ practice shots that you can't jump anyway. Then realize that he didn't need all those practice shots, he just thought it was funny that you would keep jumping every time he said, "OK, one more." Then you stop jumping.
