Weekend Trip

**Photo Crazy Post** 

You've been warned.

Through the tunnel again.

It sorta feels like a time warp.

It is definitely as nauseating as the

photo implies.  Especially when you are

the passenger. 

I suggested we continue the additional 20 miles

to the beach.  F insisted on going to the Nauticus.

Since we were convoying (army talk for being followed

by another couple) I complied.

I am glad we went to the museum mostly because I was

under the impression when we left it was going to be a

warm 80 degrees.  Google Lied.  It was 50 and really

really windy.

Onto the Museum....

 We used a periscope from WW2.

O played in a tug boat.

 O loved the fish section of the aquarium.

The Moray Eel was pretty awesome as far

as she was concerned.   

 Here, she was more interested in looking

at the lion fish than taking a photo.

Using a robot to pick stuff up.

On the USS Wisconsin.

Some of very complicated methods for communicating

on a ship.  Between all the meanings behind the flags they

fly, morse code, and the Navy's rankings, I learned one

very valuable lesson.  I am glad F is not in the Navy.

Extremely confusing stuff.  Even more so, than the Army.

After we toured the museum, we were hungry and headed

to a local diner.  Their claim to fame is they were the first 

to make waffle cones.

O would rather sit with new friends than 

boring old mom and dad.

Guy Fieri visited the place, and left

a signed poster.

The first cone machine.

After lunch, we went to the naval base, and 

asked to tour an aircraft carrier.  

We chose the George H.W. Bush 

This ship was huge.  When you are in 

the hallways, the look like they go on forever.

There are maps all over the place.

It was confusing.

Mini plane models.

Honestly, I had pretty low expectations for this trip.

I am not a fan of museums, and I don't find boats

particularly interesting either, but this was surprisingly fun.
