on the way home ..

on the way home from vacation.. we stopped in norfolk, VA and took a ride on this boat..

it was an interesting ride.. they gave a whole history of the harbor and the area while we were sailing..

emma.. chillin' below deck..

ellen..

ruby..

anyway.. the ship was called the american rover .. no duh right?

some of the family..

all these naval ships were in the harbor.. and the captain of the ship who was doing the tour knew each ship by name and what it was doing in the harbor etc..

daddy's motto in life :)

they did set sail and let the ship be powered by the wind for a little bit.. pretty cool stuff..

ruby got to steer the ship !!

one of the ships that was leaving the harbor..
