Tracy: I got a chance to see the USS Wasp while I was in Norfolk. She's a HUGE ship and is beautiful at night when she's lit up.

Boy Lori, you and I have a lot in common! My Sailor is in Norfolk on the Ramage. He returned from his first deployment April 1 and he's been in the Navy 1 1/2 years also. He's also my youngest and now I have an empty nest. Hard to get used to isn't it? Matt will be home either for Thanksgiving or Christmas. I haven't decided yet if I'm going back to visit him this fall. He deploys on a Med cruise around the first of the year.

I'm in VA Beach right now and my only tour has been the kitchen. and i am loving
it! my son and his roomies all had special requests for baked goods-so what is a mom who loves to bake do? haha.
actually, after spending 6 days and night abroad the Lincoln last fall, I am content with that as far as ships go.

Tracy, how cool. I hope that Stephen will do the same for me once he gets to his ship. I did get to spend the 4th of July with him in Virginia beach. We to the harbor cruise and got to go right beside all of the ships. They are really impressive!!

Hello everyone, I have not been on here for a while now, but I just got back from Norfolk visiting my son and I really enjoyed my visit. he took me on a tour of the ship and a tour of the base, I must say that those ships are big there were so many ships there, I was just in a maze.
