Marine Week

We had a wonderful time interacting with the marines and observing all the various marine vehicles and aircraft. My husband especially got into it and was amazed that you could get into all the various vehicles and aircraft, and our kids could touch and press buttons too. The marines we encountered were extremely knowledgeable, friendly and courteous! The musical performances that we heard were excellent too. A big thank you to all our service men and women who serve our country!! We had a wonderful afternoon and would recommend this experience to all. Wear sunscreen because most of the exhibits are out in the open.
