Hail to the Queens!!!!

I was supposed to stay home and clean house today. HA! I was all set for it until I got a call from Disneyphile. Her company is located in a tall building on Ocean Ave in LB and they were allowing employees on the roof to see the meeting of the Queens - Queen Mary and Queen Mary 2.

So much for cleaning.

I took a few pics and T took video and we'll both post them later, but seeing these two grant ocean liners in my hometown harbor was breathtaking. The QM2 is longer than the QM but is sooooo much taller it looks completely different. They did a horn salute/salutation to each other right about 12:30. The QM2 showed off to the docked-in-cement QM by doing a slow 360 in the harbor - showing off all of her good sides.

Here's a stock photo of the QM2:

I then drove down to the harbor and got a view from ground level. I've always been in awe of the size of the QM, but the QM2 is GINORMOUS! Even with the impressive size, I still like the beauty of the more-streamlined and classic Queen Mary. It is so much more elegant (or is it Swellegant?).

Anyways, it was a great day of wonderful diversion.

Now, about this house........
