Naval Base Kitsap

I will ALWAYS remember today. We played our first show in Washington State, James' dad got to come, and afterwards we toured a HUGE Navy Ship that is leaving port tomorrow. Here's a little video right before we went on board.



Our Tour guides!



You know something crazy? The Ship we were touring was the John C Stennis. And in July we stayed in a room on a base that had his picture up on the wall with no explanation. It cracked us up because at the time, we didn't know who it was... and it was a REALLY LARGE picure of an older man staring at us! But he is considered "The Father of the Navy"
Here's a link to the blog I had written before I knew who he was. The next day Daddy set me straight.

Up on deck where the jets land and take off!!! It's 3 football fields long.


Here's an arial view of the ship we are on. When I flew with my father-in-law last summer, we flew over Bremerton and I actually saw these ships from the air. Who knew I would be performing right in front of them within a year!!!


The entire crew that was working at our concert today!


The show was great. The tour of the ship was amazing. The people were gracious and giving. And I am tuckered out.

Here's just a sample of some more of the amazing people we met today!








Peace. Love. Fiddle. And God Bless the Men and Women at Kitsap!
