Winter Excursion 1, Day 19

Another great day!  We went to the Yorktown Aircraft Carrier at Patriots Point.
That's Nicole, her Dad, and the kids walking to the carrier.
When we first pulled into the parking lot there was a Hiller helicopter giving rides. I think Wesley liked this better than the rest of the day.  He even got to see it takeoff.
Here's another view of the stern.
 The flight desk had lots of different Navy jets and planes on display.
 This WWII sub was off the stern of the carrier.  We toured that also, tight quarters!
 Kennedy and Wesley sitting on a missile!
 Nicole and Rick on the flight deck.
Afterward Rick took us all to lunch at a really nice seafood restaurant on the harbor. Thanks Rick!
Afterward, back to the house for some college football and an afternoon with the Kiddos. Nicole made a delicious Low Country Boil, the shrimp were super fresh.
And of course the Kiddos had to knot up my shoes after dinner.  Took five minutes to get the knots out.
We headed back to camp around 2030. Tomorrow is moving day, back to Buck Hall for 14 days. We are looking forward to it as it is a really nice, small campground and a lot closer to the kids. And Oh yea, we can have a campfire there!
