Heading back to the Hampton after Naval Undersea Museum tour.



Dick said that the presentation on the SSGN was fantastic and that the museum would take
quite a few days to fully go through and see and read all the material that's presented.

The dinner was local (which proved a great delight to many) and was a real nice time to get
with friends up close and casual.

Mac, Don, Anne and Yuko settle in for the dinner.
