Being the big History nut I am, I really wanted to see the USS Alabama. On our way back, we planned that, just didn’t follow through. Who knew it would cost $30 for Roomie & I to tour the ship? Really? She isn’t into history like I am and I knew she wouldn’t enjoy it, so I snapped pictures from inside the park.
I really wanted to eat here. The parking lot was packed, but I was saving all of my hunger strength for Copeland’s. Yes, their food is speechless good and if it were anywhere near me, I’d eat there on a daily basis. They have the best Crawdad tails a girl could ever wish for.
There it is. The USS Alabama. I was thinking I was about to tour this awesome ship, instead all I got was shock over the cost to tour it. Maybe some day I’ll make my way back to the USS Alabama and tour the ship. One day.
The entrance to the USS Alabama. There were so many planes inside the park it was unreal. I don’t think I’d ever seen that many planes in one location that were just on display. I just snapped photos of all the planes and then looked each one of them up just as soon as I got home.
A gunner just inside the park. The thing was massive, I mean even more massive than what you would think of in the movies. I have no idea how you could control a gun like that in battle. It’s hard enough turning some of the knobs and wheels they have, but ones built 60+ years ago I can’t even imagine what it would’ve been like to fight in a war like that back then
The Coast Guard plane on display. It was a change to get to see some of these planes on display, especially after seeing The Guardian with Kevin Costner. Yes, I saw an actual Coast Guard plane, maybe next time I’ll take a tour of the ship too.
