'espicable me and the rat maze




Yesterday, we took the circus to the ship and totally felt like rats in a maze! You'd think with all the access to paint they have, the navy would at least paint the decks different colors! Besides making it easier to get around, it would be a little more "homey"! Ohh, and the showers...remember how it was in college? These are similar except no windows and a dingy lightbulb! Definitely DON'T drop the soap! Hopefully they use clorox on the floors! We are told that if you lie on a bed before you put on sheets, you'll get chicken pox or scurvy or something! All I know is that Mike is WAY braver than the rest of us!!!!

It was pretty awesome and until you've been on a ship, and I'm not talking Disney, you have no idea how truly huge they are. The USS Iwo Jima is a small carrier for LCU boats and helicopters. The boys got to see the pilot house and only once did someone try to turn the wheel! Good thing the captain keeps the keys in his pocket!!! They did have fun playing with the CO's battle helmet! My apologies to the captain :)

Took the boys to see "despicable me" so mommy could have a nap at the theatre! Sometimes it's worth the $$ to have a nice dark nap midday! It was a great movie according to the boys!
