Nimitz Friends and Family Day Cruise

From the lens Nimitz Friends and Family Day Cruise .

The cruise was very interesting but exhausting too. The ship is so big I know we missed seeing a lot of things but we enjoyed seeing our son and also what we saw of the ship.

    Thanks for sharing this. The USS Carl Vinson may be having one soon, so I wanted to get an idea of what kind of day I would be in for. This was great info!

    This just sounds like a wonderful experience, something that many people would just love to do, me included.

    How wonderful to see everyone! I just love all the pictures and your narration of the day. I feel like I got to share in it just a llittle bit. I don't know anything about aircraft carriers and feel like I learned some things from your lens, Dianne. Thank You for letting us see a glimpse of your time in San Diego.

    Take care and have a good week. Thanks so much for Sharing.

    Hi Sherry, I'm sure it was the easiest thing they could do to serve breakfast to that many people. I did stop by the nutrition table and mention it to them. They said the food was all done by an outside caterer and not by the Nimitz staff. Still, not a good breakfast for diabetics.

    Hi Diane! Fascinating picts! Thanks for sharing them. Sounds like an awesome time you had there. I bet your boy looks very handsome all dressed in his uniform! I had to chuckle a little at the table on "nutrition" after your breakfast, but I do realize that is standard fare at things like that..it was just funny!

    Wow, very cool pictures, awesome lens! We lived in Virginia Beach for years so had more exposure to the aircraft end of the Navy. Wish I had had a chance to visit an aircraft carrier. Tell your son thanks for his service! I'm proud of him, too! Blessings!

    This would be a very interesting day! I don't think I would do too well being at sea for an extended period of time but one day I could probably handle.

    This looks like such a great time! I'm so glad you were able to visit your son's ship. I didn't even know they had things like friend-and-family day for ships like this! 5* for a great lens!
