She was decommissioned in the early nineties and now lies proudly beside Nautica, the Naval museum on the waterfront in Norfolk, VA. The ship was very impressive and we were allowed to check out most of the first three decks from the deck up.
We also toured the Virginia Aquarium today, after we visited Nautica. A great time was had by all. There were all sort of different fish to be seen. From Sea Turtles to Seals. From Clown fish in a small tank to Sharks in a huge tank. The nice thing was, there was a window in the front, so you could look right in. Really cool!
In the end, the kids ended up at the Ray pool, it had about a dozen fish in it that you were allowed to touch. And of course they all three of us got our sleeves wet.
Jordan came home today as well, he was out on the boat for the last four days.
They even swam over us in one area of the Aquarium.
Damaris had a close call with a Great White. But I think she was able to talk him out of eating her.
After a very exciting day, it was time to go back to Jordan and Dianna's. Now we are getting packed up for our trip to Iowa. See you next time................Thanks for reading.

How fun to live vicariously through you!
Jason thinks that's the coolest thing. "Lucky Caleb". and "When's he coming home?" :D
I love aquariums. God has such a great imagination -- coming up with all sorts of wonderful underwater creaters.
Glad Damaris is OK. Phew! Close one!
