While Grandpa was visiting, we went out to Point Richmond to visit the Rosie the Riveter National Historic Park. We poked around the visitor's center a bit, but then headed out to where Noah really wanted to go...the SS Red Oak Victory.
The tour guides said that at 5 weeks, Samantha was their youngest visitor ever! You can see her knee just below Victor's elbow. She was wholly unimpressed with the visit.
One of the 8 large anti aircraft guns on the deck of the ship. The Red Oak Victory was a supply ship in World War II that carried bombs and ammunition to ships in the Pacific. I can't imagine being out on deck manning one of those guns with planes flying over shooting and bombing. Those were some brave men!
It was a really interesting tour and a great way to spend Memorial Day weekend.
