A week in the Surface Navy…

Date June 6, 2009

I just completed a week’s ride aboard the USS CHOSIN (CG-65). a very different experience from being on the sub… here we are far off the coast of Mexico. If you look closely, you’ll see the Aircraft Carrier USS NIMITZ (CVN-68)

Our division took a trip to Sea World today, had a blast! Haven’t been there in years (I can’t remember how long it’s been!) It’s one of the parks where we can get free admission (if only once a year).

Entering L.A., originally uploaded by dirtyblueshirt.

My Christmas trip went very well. I left San Diego on the 23rd, stopped at Gary & Kathrina’s in Hayward. for the evening. On the 24th, they left for Novato, and I went east to Ed & Judy’s for Christmas Eve. Had dinner, played Wii until late. The next afternoon, I headed up north to Novato for Christmas Dinner at Kathrina’s parents’. That night, I returned to Hayward, Gary & Kathrina followed later the next day, and we met again at Ed & Judy’s for dinner, where my cousin Liz and her boyfriend, Pat, joined us. After Dinner, we returned to Hayward, Saturday was fairly relaxed, and Sunday I drove back down to San Diego.

Could you follow that?
