Friday (Pt. 2)

After we left Fort Stevens, we headed to the Columbia River

Maritime Museum in Astoria.

We learned a lot about the Coast Guard, and there were lots of stories,

some we read and some we listened to.

Meg checking out a sign next to the ship

The pictures do no justice as to how big this boat is in the museum,
but in this picture you can see a regular size door, and it kinda gives
you an idea.

There was a front-end replica of a battle ship, so we looked
around inside of it.

so meg was sitting in this seat inside the battleship, and 

shelby and i were dinking around right behind her with the compass 

and steering wheels.  mom walked around to the front and 

stuck her face in the window, and when megan turned away from us

 and saw her she screamed! it was soooo funny.  

here we are in this quiet museum and megan screams,

 and mom is laughing hysterically...anways, it was hilarious.

what the divers used to wear

A Lighthouse

Then we got to go on a ship

Here's a view from the outside.

After that, Uncle Todd showed up! :)

And he was kind enough to take a picture of us

I thought the chain was welded down, but it was actually
just sitting there.  Here's the girls attempting to pick it up.

We played on the dock for a bit.
