We took a trip with our French friends to celebrate the 4th in patriotic style. The idea was to go to Alameda, check out an aircraft carrier, the USS Hornet, and then take in at least three surrounding fireworks shows from the flight deck. Little did we know that the Oakland show was cancelled last minute while the other shows were too far to really enjoy. Consequently, you won't see any fireworks photos here.
Backup Generator Room #2. One of the many "candid" action shots from the ship. Here we have Susan and Mike adjusting the generator settings. While the red helmets were most likely off limits, they beckoned to these full grown children.

Backup Generator Room #2. The Free French, Nono and Thomas, assisted us with the war effort.
Loading the gun. Susan on her way to becoming the first woman to load a .38 caliber gun on the USS Hornet.
Firing the gun. With a range of 12 miles, Susan will easily hit Berkeley. A patriotic 4th indeed!
