March 28
Two weeks after Dad's funeral, we went back to the cemetery to bury his remains (cremation takes a long time in FL apparently). It was another emotional time- and then since we were already at NAS on a beautiful day, we went for a picnic lunch at the lighthouse and a walk down to the beach.
The Naval Aviation Museum is right there too, with lots of memories of Dad; the kids always love to go there. We saw the model of the Enterprise- Dad's carrier, with models of his plane on it too.
The kids tried out Papa's plane's simulator (A-6 Intruder).
I had to take a picture of Harry in the Harrier.
It was a day to remember- a day for celebrating and remembering Papa. A day of smiles and tears. It is surprising sometimes how the two are so closely intertwined.
