Ok, so I didn’t stay for Thunder.  I did drive downtown, fight the mob, and watch part of the fabulous airshow.  However, I hate crowds and with the final tally at over 800,000 people, it was just too much for me.  Next year I’m getting a room in one of the nearby hotels and enjoying the festivities sans the multitudes.  The fireworks were fabulous (even on TV, and I’m told if I find a friend with HD it’s almost like the real thing) but the airshow this year topped all my expectations!  If you were among the crowd, I hope you had fun and got home in less than 3 hours!
