On Thursday we all met for breakfast before boarding buses and going to the McArthur Museum. Douglas McArthur was one of our great military leaders during WW II and the Korean War. His steady leadership saved many lives and encouraged peace.
The tomb of Douglas McArthur and his wife Jean.
After that, we cruised the Chesapeake Bay to look at the ships both active duty and retired of the USA. There were also many shipyards that dry-dock ships for renovation.
There was a lovely meal served as we cruised and thankfully we had no rain despite the gray skies. And wow was it humid and hot!
These are ships that are now in permanent dockage.
This huge ship was in dry dock to be retrofitted and cleaned and painted.
In the evening we had a Buffet Welcome Dinner and after our show was a wonderful man who sang Frank Sinatra Songs. He was really great and we all sang and enjoyed his performance.
Tomorrow is another busy day with a trip to Fort Eustace. Pictures and information to follow. We’re having a really great time and seeing old friends is always so much fun and so special!
