Marcy, it was great meeting you too, I wish we would have had some more time to hang out. We just got home today, boy am I wore out, it sure is tough to stay up with that guys.
I am so glad I took the opportunity to go see the ship and meet some of the awesome Sailors that are serving aboard it. I would not have missed it for the world, and recommend it to anybody that can go to go!

Just posted some photos from Tuesday in a new Discussion :) Great to meet Jacki and her family - love your mom, and your little one is a bundle of energy! My being there was a last-minute thing and I'm so glad I could see the Wasp and our sailors arrive.

I am sure there was a few ruined dress whites, we saw plenty of Sailors having fun

MerylandMom, unfortunately there’s always couple of people that ruin the fun for the rest. I’m really hoping that no one gets in trouble, because then everyone gets grounded and they can’t get out of the ship.
I have been looking into going to Fleet Week in NYC. I have family there so I’m hoping to kill two birds with one stone :)

Thanks Earls Wife !! I am interested in any info you can pass along. Got a message from my son last night. He said they were finally at port. There were so many drunk people and ruined white uniforms !! He was glad that he had duty last night. Hope they all keep their heads on straight and no one gets into trouble.

Awwww that is so awesome. Would you mind to take pictures and send me copies to my email? dennise.velez@gmail.com I really would appreciate if you could.
My friends hubby is the one on charge of making sure the ship is stock with all they need, maybe she will work with him.
