USS Kidd


What began as an article in the newspaper ended up as an amazing field trip today.  The USS Kidd stopped to refuel in Honiara.  So some of us made cookies and some of us made banana bread just to take down as a small thank you to the men and women who serve our country aboard the ship. 


We were told no tours would be scheduled, but we still went down to see the ship close up. Fast forward a couple of hours and throw in a very generous executive officer & commanding officer,  and these pictures tell the rest of the story... 
 




They found our village on the charts!
