Eric went on another underway this week. His ship went to Portland, Or for Fleet Week and the Rose Festival. His ship along with 3 Canadian Ships and 3 Us Coast Guard ships were there for presence and were giving tours. I had some free time since I finished school this week and drove down to spend Saturday with Eric. We were able to watch the parade, listen to the different marching bands, see some classic cars, clowns, and even laugh at girls on horses would couldn't ride! We were able to take a tour of the HMCS Algonquin, a Canadian Destroyer. A ship is a ship, they have a few different things and designs and layouts but its still a ship. After the parade we wandered downtown until we got bored. Then we went driving and found a park and went on a hike for 1 1/2 hours. We both had fun and enjoyed ourselves and it helped to break up this underway. He'll be home in a couple days and between work and schol the days will fly by!
