Its Just that time of the year and we have been busy with baseball, School, garden, chickens, and Senior's job. And when we do have a bit of free time (which is usually in the evenings) we retire to the front porch. Heck! we have hardly had the TV on at night during the past few weeks.
We did however manage a trip down to FLA to visit the parents, and then made an abrupt right turn off 95 and took the boys over to "Patriots Point" in Charleston. If you ever get a chance to go, I highly recommend it , there they have the USS YORKTOWN, SSN CLAGAMORE, and USS LAFFEY. Just make sure you wear a comfortable pair of shoes, because you are up and down all these WWll ships.
Our boys were so excited, they both like to do models, and were thrilled to see some of the planes they have completed on a much larger scale:
USS YORKTOWN:
SSN: CLAGAMORE:
USS LAFFEY:
The YORKTOWN is also a museum boasting artwork from that era:
I have seen this picture of this convoy before at NAS Pensacola and have always admired it. Just looks so darn awesome:
