Don't worry

This was just a small part of the honeymoon.
We've visited Shenandoah national park and the blue ridge highway.
Been shopping in.. well every town and city (loved New York!).
We went for a nice swim in the waters of Virginia beach..

We both really enjoyed our honeymoon..

Yeah, things are chugging along here. Lot's of folks coming and going, quite a few
of the regulars are still here.

I echo what RR said, your skins continue to impact SH4, the game is not the
same without them, especially when combined with the Kill Flags Mod.

How is married life treating you, good I bet

Hey, Foo. I see you hit the Air and Space Museum in VA. One of my most favorite museums around. I also see you got to the WW2 Memorial in DC. Congratulations on you marriage.

@ RDP -> Thanks mate.. marriage goes well.. no real difference because we already lived together for 3 years.

@AVG -> I was like a kid in a candy story.. I love this museum.
Jets, warbirds, bombers, commercial planes, spacestuff.. just awesome.

DC was also great. WW2, Korea and Vietnam memorial are really impressive

that destroyer near the end is USS Edson (DD-946) according to Wikipedia
CG-47 is also the USS.Ticonderoga, the lead ship in her class, beside her sister (save the one with the blacked out numbers (hmm odd huh...)) the USS Thomas S. Gates (CG-51)

Thats correct, alongside USS Edson is DD-931 USS Forrest Sherman.

CG-47 is indeed the Ticonderoga, CG-48 Yorktown, CG-51 Thomas S. Gates and DD-968 Arthur W. Radford.




there were more ships with black out numbers.

Yep, just when you think no one gives a crap you see first hand the memorials on the mall in Washington and the care taken to restore the aircraft and ships. The new Air and Space Museum is just great. I have been twice. There is more coming as well. The aircraft are being restored in Hyattsville MD were they have sat since WW2. Cool stuff the Smithsonian does.

I wonder why the numbers are blacked out?? sounds kinda strange to me..

I think it has to do with the difference between inactive duty an sold for scrap.
