Due to arrive Friday are the guided missile cruiser USS Monterey (CG 61) and the guided missile destroyers USS Mason (DDG 87) and USS Nitze (DDG 94).

The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) is scheduled to arrive on Saturday.

Twin's Mom, we are actually from DeSoto, but I own a small daycare in Farmington. We really love it down there, hoping the housing market will rebound soon so we can actually move down there and be closer to my work.
