Mulberry Street: U.S.S. Alabama

"And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street"

There is this great Dr. Seuess book about a boy who walks to school everyday down Mulberry Street. All he ever encounters are normal things and he wants to see extraordinary things so he can have a good story for his dad when he gets home. So the book is made up of this boy's imaginative exaggeration of the normal. Great things that all build upon each other to end with a grand parade. The boy finally realizes all the exaggeration is too unbelievable and decides to just tell his dad what he really saw on the way home-the normal, everyday stuff. That's what we are sharing in this blog, so we thought Mulberry Street a fitting name. We sometimes feel no one wants to hear about our everyday lives, but hopefully you do. Enjoy!

U.S.S. Alabama

We decided to make our week-long vacation a little longer by going to Uncle Daniel and Aunt Hali's house in Mobile for two nights. Since we knew they would have to work during the day while we were there, we invited Pop to come down and go to the Battleship with us for Father's Day. My dad loves going to the ship and has begged me to go for years, so we figured it was time and thought William would really enjoy it. So Grammy stayed with the chickens, Pop came and we made a day of it.
We started off by seeing all of the air crafts, guns, and cannons out in front of the Battleship.
