As many of you know, my family and I just returned from a short vacation to
Eastport for the Independence Day Weekend. We visited her family and saw many of her old friends while we were there. Mainly (no pun intended), we spent the vast majority of our time downtown soaking up the
atmosphere. As we walked into town, guys were putting one final spitshine on their
classic cars. These
oldies but
goodies brought back many memories of my Dad and his love of older
cars and
hot rods. At the other end of town,
Isabella (here with her cupcake decorating ribbon) and I took a guided tour of the U S Navy
FFG DeWert. Lt. Tatel showed and told us how the
crew went about their daily lives and gave us a verbal thumbnail sketch of what it's like in a combat zone. A few minutes after the tour of the ship,
Bailey was in the "bouncy house", well, bouncin'. The
parade included a visit from
Tigger and, my personal favorite,
Spongebob Squarepants ! The Grand Finale was a tremondous fireworks display over the bay. As usual, I had a great time celebrating the 4th of July in Eastport with my wife and kids and the in-laws and thousands of other patriotic Americans.
