Sean made it back from the nice neighbor country to our north. He was gone for WAY too long in my personal opinion. I think he had a pretty good time though. They took a ship up there, so he got his first "out to sea" experience since joining the Navy. I still don't really understand the purpose of the trip being so long (I don't think anyone does.) They went because they were invited by the Canadian Navy for there birthday celebration, there was one day that they did a ship parade type thing so the public could see naval ships from the different countries that were there... but that was one day and they were gone for 16 days. The rest of the time was spent site-seeing in Halifax, Canada (the city that hosted the event.) Here are just some of the pictures from his trip:

These small boats shuttled them out to the ship
These are the sweet beds they got to sleep on
He stored his stuff underneath his bed
This is a picture from an old fort that they use like a museum now. There were guys there dressed up in old uniforms... the Canadians used to wear skirts to war... haha!
This is a British ship. The U.S. had the biggest ship in the parade by far.

This is the port with all the ships, the U.S. ship is the one straight back farthest away in the picture
