Who doesn’t love a man in uniform? Well NYC will be filled with them this week as it celebrates another year of Fleet Week to honor the sailors and marines who serve our country. Seems this year is even more special as it celebrates the 200th anniversary of the war of 1812! But in all honesty, what always captures my attention is the water show compliments of FDNY!
Last year, without realizing there was such an annual event, I just happened to stumble across the warships as they made their way up the Hudson River towards the George Washington Bridge. (See post here.) This year I was able to witness the parade of tall ships which was just as exciting! Now that I’ve researched further, next year a cruise to witness the entire event up close and personal along side the ships will be on the must-do list!
So much to see and do, so little time!

WOW, and to think I just missed all that excitement! Can’t even imagine sitting where we sat and watching the show of the ships and of course all the men in uniforms!!! Missing my frissy & MORE! GH
You would have loved it! xoxo
This post brings up fond memories of when I was 18 living with my sister and cousins in Newport RI with my grandparents, That same summer the Tall Ships came and the America’s Cup races
But I’ve never seen such a fun water show. Lovely images thanks for the memory recall <3
As you now know, the Dutch call it “short of eyes.” That would be so perfect to go alongside the spectacle while on a cruise!!! I can hardly wait to see those pics.
Never a dull moment in NYC. I love NY!
This looks very cool!
How awesome!!!!! You did a great job capturing Fleet Week. I remember the ones you took from last year. xox0
