Field Trip

Yesterday PlusOne went on a field trip to see the U.S.S. Constitution, also known as Old Ironsides. The history of the Constitution is really rather incredible. You can read about it here.



The Constitution has served the Navy and America for over 210 years, making her the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world.

PlusOne liked the cannons.






And the jellyfish. In Boston Harbor! Mom was sort of wigged out about the jellyfish, but PlusOne thought they were neat.


Dad was in the Navy, so PlusOne made sure her got his picture taken with some Navy guys.


I bet the Constitution had a cat on it. I bet there were no dogs on it. I don't think I would have liked to have been on it. I am sure the kitties would all like the fish, but I think I would rather have a house that doesn't rock. What do you think?
Remember, mom is taking questions, so now is the time to ask about all those embarrassing moments is her life that I will happily post about. Ha ha. She will answer them next week some time.

Those jellyfish look neat! I do not think I would enjoy living on a ship.

That was a really great visit.
What kind of jelly fishes were they? Grape? Strawberry? Mine mombean likes Rassaberry best.

Thanks for the answer about PlusOne and Lucky's nap blankie. Nothing is more special than a nap blankie that was made with love.

Permission to come aboard, PlusOne?

We like the Navy around here, having a Squid of our own in the family-amily. And the Constitution..she's a right tight ship, she is!

I wonder if those jellyfish were moonjellies?

PlusOne looks happy posing with those sailors, bet he had a great time visiting the naval vessel, U.S.S. Constitution. So many cool things to look at. What a fun trip he had visiting Boston. Our mom doesn't like the jellyfish either.

Jelly fish in Boston Harbor? Really? Wow, that's weird! Do you live in Massachusetts? That really is quite the ship!
