SS Abraham Lincoln

Today Wayne decided we should go on a one day vacation. Earlier in the week he notice that this week was Navy Week. Los Angeles hasn't had a Navy week for 22 years. We went down to San Pedro or The LA Port in hopes to see the SS Abraham Lincoln. There were three other boat in port but the exciting one was the aircraft carrier. Over 6,000 sailors live on the ship. We knew the line would be long so we left the house at 7:15. Tours started at 10:00. We couldn't believe how long the line was. First we got off the freeway and thought we could just pull into the parking area. Wrong. We had to turn down the road, go for a few stop lights, make a u-turn and get in line. That took about and hour. Next we got in line to get on a bus. Another 2 and 1/2 hours. We were shuttled to where the aircraft carrier was docked. We walked around for about and hour. It was fun to see. It is the size of three football fields. To get back to the car we stood in line for another hour. By this time we are hungry. We went to Lucille's, a favorite BBque place. To end the day we saw the last Harry Potter movie. It has been long enough ago since I read the book that I didn't remember all of the events. It was pretty good. It made a good ending to a fun day.
