Dennis I do remember you and that bridge is Awesome!
Jessica, it's nice to see you again and I'm so glad your family is a Lego family!
Your boys are growing! I was in San Diego in 1986... a very long time ago! I have some old pics from back in the day, as my brother was deployed (NAVY) on the Kitty Hawk ("Press On") at that time (many times, actually). He spent lots of time in the Indian ocean/Somalia area and I recently reflect on that time and whether we could have made a difference back then that would reflect a positive affect in their non-existent gov't as it exists now.
I have very fond memories of the Officer's Mess (Shrimp and Piles of it, but mostly breaded), and marvelous tours of the great NAVY ships. But no Lego...alas, I was young and stupid. I was young and stupid while in Denmark as well- failing to visit the original Legoland.
Sooo... what kind of Lego do your boys like? My Matthew is completely smitten with those little "Racers", "Power Miners", and "Star Wars". My girl wants nothing to do with any Lego. I have a ton of "Technic" parts that I want to make robots with, but don't seem to have a lot of support in that area ...
I'm hoping your horsetail comes up (again) this spring!
