We arrived as it was opening for the day and it was the perfect time to be on the ship - not sweltering hot (yet!) and hardly any other visitors. Isaac is the 8 year old version of a WWII history buff.... seriously. He had a great time. (also, what boy can resist weaponry?!?!? none of mine!)
The Memorial is so cool - you really get to go all through the. ship and see everything, from the engine rooms to the bomb storage areas... and beds were everywhere! 2000 men served on the battleship, and they needed a lot of beds!
Group photo as we were getting ready to leave! It was a beautiful day! Mom and Dad headed back to Oak Island while we drove to Carolina Beach to reconnect with some dear dear friends. I have a photo of us with the Shelleys but can't find it (ugh).
The time with them was so sweet and too short and then we rode the ferry home and it was almost the beginning of our last day at the beach!
The Shelleys were the second Asia-friends we connected with at the beach. We also saw Emmarie who were served with the year Julianna was born!
All our days at the beach were delightful... the perfect way to re-enter America and rest and play hard too!
We came home tan and healthy and with sand still stuck between our toes.
Oh, and with brand new Oak Island tees to wear up north :)
