RP: Hanna Family Who: Jenna Hanna, Sam Hanna, Sean Hanna (Deeks?) Where:USS Valiant When: Sunday, June 19, 2011 Summary: The kids take their father out on a "surprise" Father's Day trip.
They had wanted to do something for Father's Day that would be just for them. The larger family was cool and all. But, building their family meant they needed to have this day at lease just for them. And, Sean had suggested the museum as a way to remind them all there had been a few occasions when they'd had fun with their dad in the past. True, he'd wanted to see the art and his dad had wanted to see the planes. But, the rare visit when their dad would take them to the museum were happy memories. So, he'd made the suggestion and Jenna had agreed.
The Intrepid was a good choice. It was a museum, but with more of the sort of thing Dad would like -- planes, military history, G-force simulator. Of course, it was a different dimension and the ship wasn't the USS Intrepid, but the USS Valiant and the ship's history was somewhat different. So, not the same experience, but maybe that was better. They could do something with history Dad didn't know already and wouldn't find boring.
They'd even gotten G to check out the security to make Dad feel better about the surprise. Sean could have gotten them there easier on the subway, but Dad had vetoed that idea. Security. Of course.
But, they were there, standing on the flight deck, the three of them. And that was the important part.
"So, what do you want to do? they've got the planes up here. There's the simulators, restored parts of the ship. Lunch in the mess later, if you want. The submarine. Whatever you want."
