Patriot's Point

On our way home from Wild Dunes, we stopped to take the boys to Patriot's Point. Jack was Sam's age the last time he had been to the aircraft carrier, so we figured both the boys would enjoy it now. It was Memorial Day, which meant that the ship was decked out with American flags and lots of volunteers (many veterans) who were eager to share their stories and knowledge.

Here we are in front of the USS YorkTown's bell.
