USS CONSTITUTION

A quick photo while we were on the USS CONSTITUTION. Currently over in Rhode Island going to school and we took a trip up to get a tour of the USS CONSTITUTION. Wish it was all together for some better photos. It is in the final stages of a 3 year overhaul and all the yard arms have been removed. Either way, it was neat to see parts of the ship that the public doesn't get to see.

Boat Show

One of the photos from the Newport International Boat Show. Found several boats that I would buy if I win the lottery. I think the best part of the boat show was the Brokerage Boat Show that was next door. Basically it was a bunch of open houses on boats that are for sale. The people in this area have way too many boats. It took almost 6 hours to wander around and see all of them.

Still more photos

Always helps to have a big cousin helping out.

Another successful trip out to check the crab pots.
