Thanks!

To our vets...

Today, Mom and I took the Edmonds ferry over to the Olympic Peninsula. We drove through lush green woody places to end up at the Keyport Naval Undersea Museum. Officially a U.S. Navy museum, this place was full with great displays: they had lots of torpedoes & mines along with a great walk though of undersea history of exploration and warfare too. I was impressed that they had a room dedicated to the science of the ocean... plankton, salinity, oxygen, pressure, buoyancy, light, sound, geology etc. Very impressive for a military museum! And they even had a little sit down theater with short films on the history of submersible warfare.


Mom and I spent around three hours in there... it was very worth the time! And they even had a souvenir patch in the gift store... along with a very inexpensive Navy t-shirt. We both learned new things about the Navy, and I walked out of there even more inspired about what I want to do.

The trip back was also pleasant, and we ate a very belated lunch in Poulsbo, and made the 3:10 ferry while we were at it.

Back at home, a friend was over talking with my sister. We ended up watching a movie together... Twelve O'clock High with Gregory Peck... in honor of the day. He had never seen it before, so it was a good time.

What a way to spend a Monday! It so doesn't seem like one.
