The whole reason for this trip was to see the change of command on the Nimitz. The son of a friend of my dad’s from college was getting command, Capt. Ted Branch. The ceremony was about an hour long and our kids were wonderful. They were all dress up and behaved very well. After the ceremony on the deck of the carrier, we had lunch on the hangar deck and then had a tour of the carrier. It was very interesting. Katy liked riding the elevators most of all. Sam liked driving the boat as well as the fact that the arms on the chairs in the radar control room went up and down.
After the ceremony today, the kids came back and played on the beach some more. Here are those pictures together with the ones from yesterday.
