The Beach!!!

I miss seaweed! Is that a strange thing to admit???



We went to Coronado for a quick trip to the beach before the wedding. It was Jodi's first trip to the ocean. Olivia was right at home, which made me happy. She is definitely our kid! I wish we could have a house in CA and in Flagstaff. The best of both worlds.

Getting water for the perfect castle!

On the way back to the hotel to shower before the wedding. My little beach bum! She had sand from head to toe!


More Navy Pier Pictures

This ship just sailed by and made a beautiful photo next to the statue. Awesome!




This was a tribute to Bob Hope entertaining our troops for so many years. Sunset created some great photos!

The USS Midway





In the brig!
Sleeping quarters
Rob and Vince rode a simulator





The morning of the wedding, we went with Vince and Jodi (my cousins) to tour the USS Midway. It was my first time on an aircraft carrier and it was very cool! I could have spent a lot more time there, we will definitely have to go back someday. I would love to go with someone who has actually spent time on one. Anyone??
