Armed Forces Day - 5.16.2009

Yes, we're still doing some catching up on our blogging...

So, a few weeks ago we ran over to Bremerton for the Armed Forces Day festivities. Of course, the ferry ride is always one of our favorite parts of the trip. Who doesn't love a ferry ride? We can't seem to get enough of the wind, the marine life (okay, mostly seagulls), the amazing views, weaving around all the little islands in the sound, the photo-taking opportunities...

Next we went to the parade with all the motorcycles, tanks, military vehicles and soldiers.  Several of the venues provided free lunch (woo-hoo!) and then we visited a military museum.

If you ever visit Bremerton, one place to go is the waterfront park next to the ferry dock. The park had amazing fountains that sprayed water sporadically, which kept the kids always ready and watching for when the next big burst of cold water!
