We boarded Ryan's ship in San Diego for a 4 day "cruise" up to Bremerton, Wa. After the BATTLE with claustrophobia (which I WON through lots of prayer), it was absolutely fantastic. The Stennis was just coming back from an 8 month deployment which included the Persian Gulf region. What an experience to live with these great American Sailors for their last 4 days at sea, and to see the reception and appreciation of the WELCOME HOME crowd at the dock. It was very moving for us and the other family members on board.

It sounds like you guys had a nice cruise. I have heard that going through Puget Sound on an aircraft carrier is awesome. The reception would have been nice to see.
