Naval History Day

Today, we took Laura, who is visiting us from Ohio, to downtown Norfolk the MacArthur Memorial and Museum.

Headed over to the USS Wisconsin in the Nauticus Museum..

 Laura and I reminiscing about the old days in repair lockers when we were in the Navy..

Harbor Fest 2012

This weekend was Harbor Fest. We decided to take the newly constructed light rail into downtown Norfolk and see the tall ships and maybe a few other things in downtown.

Tall Ships were everywhere! It was a sight!

We were able to go aboard the Mexican Ship "Cuavatemoc".

mmmm... Mexican Sailors!
