How I Spent My Summer Vacation

I know I'm a little late at posting the "How I Spent My Summer Vacation" story, but here is a little highlights of my recent trip to Wilmington.

I've always talked about visiting our neighbors down east, but we've never gotten around to it.


My dad was part of the hundreds of thousands of school children throughout the state that
donated their change to bring the USS Battleship home to Wilmington.
The Battleship is big. It was amazing to see how the sailors lived at sea, with the various departments and amenities on board.




Here's a nice photo of me aboard the Battleship (below).


And one last photo of the Battleship itself (below).


I may add more from the trip and the many experiences in the coming days, so stay tuned.

But as they say, there's no place like home.
