Quick trip to Virginia...

Well, bad news hit the Otten Family when David's Grandma on his mom's side passed away on Wednesday. We booked a flight out to Virginia and left on Friday and stayed until Monday afternoon. The funeral was on Saturday and David's dad gave the eulogy for his mother in law. It was a wonderful speech and and he focused mainly on the fun, humorous side of Grandma Finney. Visiting with the extended family was nice since we do not go out there very often.

One of the best things we were able to do was visit the USS George H. W. Bush Aircraft Carrier. It is at the Navel Base in Norfolk. Dave's cousin's husband was in the Navy and is stationed on the ship. He was able to give us an amazing tour of the huge ship! Tip to tip it is as tall as the Empire State Building.

The Ship!


This is where Kyle Sleeps! Yikes!


Very Patriotic! On the flight deck.
