Mobile, AL and the USS Alabama and USS Drum

This last weekend Mary and I decided we would go to Mobile, Alabama, stay at a bed and breakfast, and go see the Battleship, USS Alabama and anything else in the park where that ship is perma-docked.

Mary had visited before when she was younger and thought that I might like to visit. Boy was she right! We spent at least 4 hours there touring the the USS Alabama, the USS Drum and various military planes and tanks and things. The ship and the sub were so cool!

They have many things to see at this nice park, including not only a totally awesome battleship and submarine but many airplanes, helicopters, tanks and artillery. We looked at them all.
In the next post I will be showing you my favorite parts of each of the main tours.
Yeah, you get to climb aboard both the Alabama and the Drum and really see what it must have been like to live in very close quarters, on a seafaring Navy ship!

Also, the Air Force painted that helicopter to look like a caterpillar so that when people saw it in pictures taken from far away they would just think it was bug, close to the camera, or so I assume.
