Just the Girls

I had to pick Randy up from the airport today. Emmy came along to keep me company. We got downtown way too early, so Em and I decided to "play tourist," take a walk along the harbor, and visit the Maritime Museum. Emmy loved watching all of the big boats come and go, and she loved hearing the Hornblower before it backed out.

I know the boys would have loved this! We checked out submarines and tall ships including the Star of India. We were able to watch the crew of one ship take down the sails. It was pretty cool. They looked like pirates hanging around up there.


Here is the ship after almost all of the sails were taken down. There are still a couple guys hanging on up there!


We walked all the way down the aircraft carrier, the Midway.


Emmy enjoyed a slushy in front of the Midway before we headed back to the car.



The time got away from us and I realized it was time for Randy's flight to arrive. I knew we still had time since he was going to meet us at the curb. Then, all of a sudden, there was a Delta plane about the size that I thought he would be on. I told Emmy, "There's Daddy!" I hurried to take a picture and then, sure enough, Randy called about 2 minutes later saying that he had just landed!


We had pizza in Little Italy and then headed back home. All in all, it was a nice day!
