Fleet Week

For Memorial Day this year Amanda & I decided to venture into the city for "Fleet Week", if you're not familiar with what "Fleet Week" is then you need to check it out sometime. "Fleet Week" is a week celebrating our service men & women here in NYC. During the week several active duty ships port in the NYC harbor and all sorts of activities go on. On Memorial Day we went and toured several ships (Intrepid, Iwo Jima & Army Cargo to be more specific), a submarine (the Growler - known for its part in cruise missle development), and the old Concord airplane. One of my favorite things was talking with some of the sailors about their tours of duty...makes you really proud to have met these great soldiers! After spending a few hours touring we decided since it was so nice outside to walk down and have lunch at "Hell's Kitchen" which was really good and we got to sit outside. It was a great day to remember all the brave soldiers who have died to make our country free...thank you!
