Acting silly for the camera

Another great view from our balcony....and more storms!







Emily learned how to splash the water very quickly





This trip the sunglasses didn't last long where they go...they were used more for teething purposes!






Rockin' the Milk Gut!







Emily and Tom taking it all in







Emily likes the pool better than the ocean water






What a little ham!!!







Starting the trip off with a smile. We went to Perdido Florida and stayed right on the beach..it was great, No Oil or Tar Balls to ruin the fun. The water was amazing and the weather was pretty much perfect minus a few thunderstorms.

Daddy and Emily




Lighthouse Lenses

These lenses were really cool so I had to show them. It is amazing just how much work would go into making one these and not to mention how expensive they were.









Just to show how big it some of these were I had my picture taken next to one.





Graduation

Me and my roommate Beilin after graduation.
Getting my Crows pinned on. I am now a MST3, Petty Officer 3rd class.

This was my small class of MST's. Usually classes are around 24 to 28 people.



MST A School 2, Pics from base

The base is on National Park Land located off of the York River. Around base and outside the gates you can find lots of trenches like these that were used in the Civil War and battlefields from the Revolutionary War. If anyone is a History nut then the Williamsburg, Yorktown, Jamestown triangle is a must see.
This is a half mile pier located on base. I soon found out that I did not have the right tackle to be fishing here, or at least that is my excuse.

Part of the Aids to Navigation yard.


At night is was pretty cool to see these markers light up, unfortunately the picture did not capture the lights.



Marker yard used for training.





MST A School

This is road we marched everyday to and from class.
Here is Hamilton Hall, this is the building where we spent just about everyday in class.

This is just opposite Hamilton Hall where we observed colors.


I will not be missing this bed.




And this is where I lived for 2 and 1/2 months.
