Patriot's Point

Patriot's Point is in Mount Pleasant and that's where we went this afternoon. The main attraction there is the carrier, USS Yorktown. We spent a little over two hours, climbing and walking through this giant ship. Talk about a floating city!! The displays that were there really helped us to understand the operation and the history of this ship.














We then got a chance to "crawl" through
about half the length of the submarine, Clamagore. Even though we were being careful going from one compartment to another, I have a couple of knee knocks and a head bump to remind me of my first visit to the inside of a sub.







We are going back to this same location tomorrow to look at some of the other
exhibits and to catch a ferry to Fort Sumter.

Looks like you guys had fun at Patriot's Point. It brings back memories of going there with Scott Bacon and the guys. Try to imagine me squeezing through the insides of the submarine...good times!

P.S. Did you hear Grandma's shout-out on STO last night?
