Battleship Iowa 2014

After spending the weekend in San Pedro, we headed back the following Thursday for a homeschool field trip to the Battleship Iowa. Dennis took the day off and went with us. After the beautiful weather on the weekend, we were blasted with a heat wave on this day. Only Ellie was smart enough to carry her water with her; the rest of us left ours in the car! Not smart!

The tour was very interesting. I don't know how those sailors managed to live on board in such close quarters; and with the heat we were experiencing, I can only imagine how they must have felt. One pour little guy suffered from heat stroke at the very end of the tour. I thought Josh might join him as he was feeling very thirsty and hot. We got him below to the air conditioned shop and bought some water.

In spite of the heat, it was nice to go on a field trip as a foursome; usually it's just the kids and me.
