#2 son and I played hooky today and went to the Firehouse Expo. It was held in San Diego. We were down visiting my folks, so we decided to go.
A lot of things to see
The exhibition hall was full of people and fire service equipment. It was old home week, we couldn't walk a hundred feet without seeing someone we knew.
Fallbrook Firefighters had this beauty on display.
Here is something you don't see every day, a two headed fire engine.
Many vendors were present, including Phenix Fire
Helmets, personal favorite of Capt. Schmoe.
What's an antique engine without a Dalmatian?
It's how they roll in the 90210.
Oceanside's new Pierce. Nice grill!
After we were done at the expo, we went into the Gaslight District and had lunch at a Persian restaurant. The food was great and as the weather was perfect, we decided to eat on the sidewalk.
Two guys pushing a cart full of chairs through downtown San Diego.They went up the street for several blocks, before turning down an alley.
All in all a great day. As the last four posts were all words (fiction no less), I thought I'd throw some images your way. Have a great week and as always, Thanks for reading.

Very nice pics, Capt. Oh I long for some warmth and a chance to eat lunch outside! Glad you had some R&R, and saw some fabulous firehouse equipment! Have a wonderful day, Schmoe!!

I wish I could take my son there, he'd LOVE it. Thanks for rubbing my nose in that "perfect weather" nonsense.

Dear Captain,
ReplyDeleteOthers have already said it. You get very clear pictures, good composition, love the details. I am in awe.
And, what fun! You know, that father-son thing is a good deal too. It gets more valuable as they get older and takes on the purity of those photos you took.
A complete success,
Ann T.
