Long Trip - Battleship

We took a spring break trip down to Alabama in April.  Frankly, I was not looking forward to 12+ hours in the car, but the kids did great!  We were headed to Gulf Shores, but we stopped in Mobile to see the USS Alabama.  We spend a few hours walking on the self guided tours throughout the ship.  The kids (mostly the boys) had a whole lot of fun exploring the many different decks and levels of the ship. Erin enjoyed it, but the stair (more like ladders) between levels were rather intimidating.
Alex is into anything and everything army right now.  He loves guns, ships, planes, helicopters and tanks.  So he was loving every minute of this stop. There was also a hanger with planes and helicopters in it at the park.  And a US Submarine too. 

Alex's favorite gun on the ship. It could fire the missles (next to Andy) accurately 21 miles away.

There were volunteers all over the ship dressed in their uniforms.

This plane flew up near the edge of the atmosphere.

A US submarine that we went in too!
