im back.. was fun.. no wearing white.. and i cant believe i spelled that wrong..! lol.. oh well.. ill post pics as soon as i get them on.. was a soggy day for sure, but i had fun climbing ladders and such.. i dont know how those men/women dont get claustrophobic with all that tightness inside.. gave me the creeps a little. the ships are so powerful. we actually went on 3 ships. 2 from australia and one from the u.s was there as well..they had this weapon that they said was there alst line of defense against the enemy and it was this gun/or whatever it was called on the top deck and it shoots 4,500 rounds per minute! it actually blows the missles coming toward the ship to pieces! crazy. my little one got to hold and play with some guns. his favorite! i swear that kid should be a sniper or something.. the big one wanted to know about the engines and power.. it was fun.. ill load and post soon Mel
