Visiting the Intrepid

Connor's birthday is on Monday so today to celebrate I was invited to go with them to go see the Intrepid. It's a really cool Airplane carrier that has been made into a musuem with airplanes to see and a submarine on the side. Here are all the pictures!

Cool Airplanes huh?



this one looks like a mouse to me :)



Me and the birthday boy! For Connor's birthday I got him a Star Wars Yoda lunchbox, it had a can of rootbeer in it, stickers, toys, and candy. He would not put it down, he carried it throughout the whole museum even though we could have put it in my bag! He loved it! See if you can see it in some of the pictures!

Enjoying the view on our tour



Ahoy Captain Connor, where are we off to?
Ok so funny story, there were these airplane simulators inside that you could ride in. It was a ride and you were supposed to fly the airplane around and shoot the enemy airplanes. Well Connor and I did it together and for most of the time he was steering our plane and we were upside down most of the time, if we weren't upside down then we were turning round and round, I was laughing the entire time because it was just crazy letting that kid fly a plane!



This is a board that shows how many airplanes and boats the Intrpid shot down, all the red things are airplanes it destroyed and all of the ships you can see are the ships it either sunk or crippled.



Here's a model of the boat we were on

After seeing all of that stuff we decided to tour the submarine



Roz and I



the tiny bathrooms they had
so a lady told us that there were 100 men on this submarine and they only got to shower 3 times a month! Add to that that the men could smoke down there and that must have been a yucky place to live!!!



Caroline trying to figure out which bunk would be hers! I call the top bunk!



Roz coming through the doorway!



The room where the torpedoes are loaded!



lookin' good Sailor Casey!



After touring everything at the Intrepid we went over to Times Square for dinner, but the wait was an hour and a half, so to kill time we went and walked around Toys R Us, the girls loved it, but of course there was someone dressed up like Iron Man so Connor had to freak out and Roz took him outside!



Two cute girls in Times Square!



The whole fam!

It was so fun spending the day with them! I sure do miss them!

What a fun day in the city! I LOVE the Intrepid and the submarine. Definitely worth waiting in line for that thing!

P.S. One of these days I'm going to have to bring Conner some root beer candies!
