Nick's ship came home Tuesday (10/28) morning after being in Japan for 5 weeks. We made welcome home posters, but Howie would only hold it for a few minutes. When he finally figured out what was going on though, he was really excited to see his daddy. After the ship was moored, we went on for a tour, and even Clarence got to come. It was nice to get out of the blazing heat & humidity (and it was only 8:15 am!). The ship is really small, especially compared to his last one. But Nick loves it! We're all very happy that he's home again! Now we can really explore our lovely island home.
High five!
Clarence!
