Wooooweee!!! Something is always going on 'round here lately!
Since my dad and brother have been visiting the last month in NC with Ayden and I, we have been busy in town and out of town too. This pic was taken at the
USS Battleship in Wilmington,NC a couple of weekends ago.
There is my daddy;) He is former Navy so this was a must "to do" trip while they were here! Lots of tight spaces,but very interesting to see where the Navy guys lived while at sea back in the 30s and 40s.
Click on the menu for 1944! I should have gotten a pic of the tailor shop below inside the ship where the tailor worked on his sewing machine and then there was a cot for him to sleep in above at nighttime! Just amazing to see the conditions they were living in back then.
Aboard the ship, here is a shot of a plane.
Just a snapshot of the altogether enormous ship!
These chain links were 80lbs each---that's right 80 lbs!!!!!
An anchor-------oh my!

| he really wasn't crying here like the pic portrays him to be doing |
Ayden ran all over the ship checking everything out and asking lots of
important questions along the way to Grandpa.
.................................................a piece of history for the day...................................................
I will be back with more. More pics that involve some
BIG engines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
