Weekend at USS IOWA

Do you know one thing that will change about your weekends after you have your own family and little ones? You are not going to enjoy concerts or go shopping with your friends that much, but will look more for different “big” and “huge” experiences (and they’re usually more fun, too:), like going to the zoo, or going to visit the battleship U.S.S. IOWA like we did last Saturday.

“Built in 1940, the U.S.S. IOWA served the U.S. for over 50 years. Designated the ‘World’s Greatest Naval Ship’ due to her big guns, heavy armor, fast speed, longevity and modernization, she kept pace with technology for more than 50 years.”

“U.S.S. IOWA is now transformed into the most interactive and educational museum of its kind and opened as a museum this month in its new home in Los Angeles.” —-pacificbattleship.com

The Iowa truly was impressive, with every inch of her obviously built only for fighting battles.  The 9 main guns are huge, with barrels over 66 feet long, and they fired shells a distance of 20 miles, and the shells weighed as much as a car!

Sorry about my dirty shoes, somehow Red Bear treated them like moving rug on the boat. 🙁

I hope you enjoy these pictures, and wish you have a great beginning of a week.
