This weekend Christian went with the cub scouts to the USS Hornet Aircraft Carrier. If you know me, then you know I'm not a fan of being being closed in, closed off, up high, etc, etc... And while the Hornet would be better than the Pampanito I didn't want to take a chance so I did not go. Anthony gracioulsy took Christian with Zach.
Since I wasn't there I do not currently have any pictures, but Anthony took some so once I get them from him I will post them. I dropped him off at Anthonys at 1:30 yesterday
As expected, Christian had a blast. Arrived, checked-in, went through orientation, stowed their gear, ate dinner and explored the ship... Did the flight simulator, saw jets, etc... Went to bed anywhere between 11 and midnight and woke up around 6:45 to help serve breakfast (he handed out either bananas or ... hmmm, I forget what it was, but the bananas were the popular item). Explored the ship more and came home around 3pm today... Was really tired, but we had popcorn to deliver and I was worried that if he took a nap it would be hard for him to fall asleep at night.
Put him to bed early (7pm) and he slept --- HARD! He was out and slept 12.5 hours! Woke up feeling good.
When I get the pictures I'll make a new post with them...
