After exploring the U.S.S. Yorktown<\/a> we toured the U.S.S. Laffey<\/a> and U.S.S. Clamagore<\/a> (the submarine).\u00a0 We packed a lot of learning, exploring, and fun into one day while we were at Charleston<\/a>.\u00a0 Thankful for the opportunity to learn little pieces of our country’s history and share the experience with our kids.\u00a0 It was a muggy and rainy day, but we had a great time.\u00a0 Although it poured when we were going between the Laffey and the Clamagore we just splashed through the puddles laughing the whole way (luckily there was no lightening since we were in between large hunks of metal conductors).<\/p>\n

The U.S.S. Laffey was used back in the 1940’s.\u00a0 One of it’s biggest battles was off the shores of Okinawa when over 20 Japanese bombers and kamikazes attacked it.\u00a0 They have an actual place you can go into and “experience” what it was like for the men on that day.\u00a0 It was a rainy day so we only had to wait a couple minutes to get into the Mount 53 experience, it was really neat activity to do if you are ever on the U.S.S. Laffey!<\/p>\n

\"P1260219c\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Walking through the U.S.S. Laffey!<\/p>\n

\"P1260224c\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Neat model of the U.S.S. Laffey.\u00a0 It was hard getting a good picture with the on and off rain storms that day!<\/p>\n

\"P1260239c\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Brina’s in charge!<\/p>\n

\"P1100949c\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Both girls in the captain’s chair!<\/p>\n

\"P1260252c\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Brina hanging out with her Dad!<\/p>\n

\"P1260245c\"<\/a><\/p>\n

U.S.S. Clamagore Submarine!<\/p>\n

\"P1100957c\"<\/a><\/p>\n

All of us were completely soaked by the time we reached the Clamagore, Karlie was the first one to arrive safely!<\/p>\n

\"P1100960cc\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A little wet and slightly cool, but ready to explore the Clamagore Submarine!<\/p>\n

\"P1100969c\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was a fun day in Charleston despite getting a little wet!<\/p>\n

\"P1260273c\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After dinner we were going to go to Books A Million, but it was closed already so the girls found another way to stay entertained.\u00a0 Brina having fun!<\/p>\n
