USS Stennis
*edited to add* the last 3 pictures were taken from the Navy facebook page but I thought everyone would like to see them too
What an incredible weekend we had. Emily, Clara and I were able to meet Zachary in San Diego this last weekend while he was in port. It was the centennial celebration of Naval Aviation so the ship that Zachary was on came back into port. We met him at the ship and Emily ran straight into his arms and gave him the biggest hug ever. She talked non stop the whole weekend. I really had to be fast if I wanted to talk to Zachary at all. We would just look at each other and smile because we knew that she was the happiest little girl having her daddy around. On Saturday we were able to enjoy Sea World and the tickets happened to be free thanks to being in the military. The shows were great and Em loved the rides. Zachary and I had to take turns riding them however because we both were getting nauseous from them. Em thought they were fabulous and couldn't get enough of them much to our dismay. Being together again as a family of 4 was wonderful! On Sunday we were able to go tour Zachary's ship (the USS Stennis).
Usually they only let children 8 years and older tour it but they made an exception for us and allowed us to at least see the hanger bay inside the ship. I was not allowed to take my camera but we did have Zachary's little camera. I have no idea how to use his camera which is evident by the pictures I took but hey at least I have some pictures. It was great to see at least a little bit of the ship. The weekend went by incredibly too fast but we are thankful that Zachary will be home soon.

Thanks for the great update with pictures! We love y'all!
Wow. It sounds like a great weekend. I am glad you were all together for a while. You should see if you can a flag like the one behind Zachary and Emily and fly it above your car window when you drive like people do with the sports team flag. That'd be cool.
