Magical day

Yesterday afternoon we went to the water fountain park again, the same one in the slideshow at the bottom of this page. While we were there, we spotted a Coast Guard boat behaving as if something important was coming. Sure enough, there was a submarine behind it, being escorted into its new homeport by a couple of Coast Guard boats and two tugboats. The park is at the tip of a little piece of land that is sandwiched right between the ferry terminal and the shipyard where this sub was headed, so we got a really great view! The mayor and our hometown congressman were out on a boat to watch and welcome. All in all, it was really quite a sight! I'm telling you, you just never know what you're going to see around here!
