Breakfast at the Arden House
Our activity of the day was the Naval Yard. We enjoyed exploring the HMS Warrior.
How much fun can you have with a canon and canon balls?
Our future sailors
The HMS Warrior was very kid friendly. They have a hunt set up to teach and involve the kids. The boys enjoyed finding the silhouettes place throughout the ship and marking them off their list. It made the tour more interesting for them. The Warrior was the first steel-hulled ship in Her Majesty's Fleet. She was forgotten about until some naval yard workers were laid off and started restoring her as a labor of love.
The coal bin makes for a great toy!
Don't you wish you had a Solitary confinement cell sometimes?
We are very proud to play the part of the tourist!
While Allen and Gideon came to the gift shop with me, Bruce spent his time getting Lincoln to eat. He started playing a doggy game with him. Bruce had great success with this one, but it did take quite some time.
We enjoyed taking the boat tour in the harbor. We saw the Royal Fleet and all the sights on the coastline. The weather held up for us just as the Harbor Tour was nearing the end. We were very blessed to stay dry!
The boys couldn't wait to get back to the Arden House to try out their gift shop toys.
There is nothing like a good meal, some down time, and a mommy dessert to end the day!
