Chandler was an angel and slept most of the way up!
The aircraft carrier was HUGE.
And it was so weird that in spite of how huge it was, the beds and storage for the soldiers were all stacked on top of each other. It was so interesting to see what their life would have been like. We saw the cafeteria with a sample of a menu of what they would eat day to day, the kitchen and bakery were it was all prepared, and where they ate.
And lots of airplanes:
It was a hooooot day. We got cups of soft snow cone ice and I would feed little bits of it to Chandler to keep him hydrated. He made the most hilarious faces in reaction to the cold, but he enjoyed it.
It was crazy to see all of the guns and stuff on the battleship:
If the living quarters on the aircraft carrier and battleship were tiny, the submarine was insane. I didn't think I could go in at first. After 3 minutes down there I needed to get out. I can't believe men lived like that with 79 other guys for months! Underwater! No fresh air!
And, for fun, a creepy handless mannequin:
When we got out of the submarine it had started pouring rain. Chandler stayed dry inside of his stroller-chariot (but did not like being under the hoods and not being able to see out...he was whining "mamamamamama!" the whole way to the car). The rest of us got drenched.
We went back to Jordan and Kaitlyn's to change into some dry clothes and then Dad treated us to a delicious dinner at Triangles before we headed home. What a great Labor Day!
