Oriole Park at Camden Yards

May 22nd I went to the only Redsox vs. Orioles game that we lost. Maybe I'm a jinx. Camden Yards is a pretty awesome ball park. We sat in the nose bleed section but at $9.75 a ticket I couldn't bet it. We were able to show our military ID and get better seats around the 3rd inning.




The mill building in the background is the Orioles front offices. Nice use of space in my opinion.



Yesterday we drove to Hamburg Penn. to go to Cabelas for the day. It was a 2hr each way trip but it was pretty fun and a good day killer. I stopped at Target on the way home and bought the book In The Woods by Tana French. I am only 100 pages in but I like it a lot so far.

Can't I Live While Im Young

This weekend started early. The boat let us go at noon on Friday to go to the air show at Andrews AFB in D.C. It was pretty fun. The Blue Angels are amazing and make me feel bad about my career choice. I guess thats why we have kids, to coerce them to do what we didn't.
Mike George and I walked 8.7 miles from the CG base to Fells Point Maryland. We met some very cool but non english speaking Japanese Navy sailors. They were very nice and Very respectful.  We went to a food joint called Koopers Tavern. It was delish, I had a fantastic Cheese and Onion Pizza well done. Very laid back place. It made me happy.
13 more days till i get to come home to my wife. I think the two of us have hit our breaking point,  I am so glad to be going to land for the next 4 years. Until next time....

I'm living in the stone age

It sure has been a while since my last post. We have moved back onto the boat and I no longer have access to wifi. I am writing today from Bethesda MD Naval Hospital while I wait for a friend to get out of surgery. I want everyone to know how much fun I had in New Hampshire a few weeks ago. It was so nice to see everyone. Last weekend I went to the Baltimore Tattoo Convention. It was pretty cool (No Nanny White I didn't get another tattoo haha). I saw the girl from NY INK the TV show (Pictured below). We also saw a self proclaimed freak show. They did some very strange stuff. The pictures below of all the Volkswagen's was at a guys garage I was walking past. All of the vehicles pictured will be restored to their original beauty. The OAK was pulled out of the water yesterday and we are now officially in "Dry Dock". We have been extended until June 15th or later. Luckily for me my last day on board will be the 31st of May, then its home to see my beautiful wife. I feel like I should have more to say but I guess I live a fairly boring life.
