This last Saturday was Museum Day. The long and short of it is that you can go see a participating museum for free! Yes please. There were quite a few participating in our area, but the Battleship New Jersey (#32) topped our list. We've wanted to see it, but it was a little out of our sightseeing budget normally.
So we planned it out. I invited some friends from our church while unbeknownst to me Brad invited his photography club from dental school. We ended up with quite a few people coming along.
Anyways, on Saturday we packed up little buddy, took our first trip over the Ben Franklin Bridge into New Jersey, and saw the Battleship. Before going I didn't know how cool this battleship really was. It is the most decorated battleship, fought in 17 battles, and served in 4 wars (WWII, Korean, Vietnam, and Gulf.)
Funny story. The dental group arrived first so they went ahead while I waited about 5 minutes for our friends to arrive. I thought that with all the photos they would be taking for sure we would catch up to them. We never did. Turns out Brad's group accidentally followed a tour group and went on a different route of the boat. They ended up missing out on about half of the ship. And it was all the really cool stuff too like the navigation deck, Tomahawk Missiles, museum, and the helicopter. Their mishap paid off in another way. They convinced one of the veterans to show them the dental facilities since they were from the dental school.
We're glad so many of our friends could come with us. We had a great time!
