Yesterday the boys were extremely excited to journey up to San Francisco at the invitation of my old Navy buddy, Commander Chris Peppel, to attend the commissioning of the brand-new USS America! They were so hyped the night before that they wanted to go straight to bed, with Henry announcing, “I’m going to get up, get dressed, and eat breakfast in the car!” We had a great time attending the ship & touring the new 45,000-ton ship (a small aircraft carrier—”small” being a strictly relative/only-in-America term!) and seeing Mr. Peppel. Here’s a gallery from the visit, plus a very short video below.
