On the way to New Orleans we stopped for a few hours in Mobile to visit the USS Alabama at Battleship Park. The battleship, of course, was the star attraction- but there was also a submarine and numerous tanks and aircraft to explore. Upon seeing the size of the battleship, Owen became very excited. He ran ahead of us up the ramp stating that this was "going to be awesome". We got to roam all over the battleship. It is a large boat, but I certainly wouldn't want to be on it in the middle of the sea. I have a whole new respect for those serving in the Navy. As tight as things were on the battleship- they were much, much tighter on the submarine. Once again, lots of respect for those serving on submarines. That has got to be tough. The kids (and adults) really liked poking around the ships and checking out what life at sea would be like.
Yep- my family tried to throw me in the brig, but I escaped.
This is a replica of the Hunley. Can you imagine being underwater in this little thing?
