USS Alabama
by Tony Peregoy

Well, if you can say anything about us, it is that we are ready to go camping at a moments notice.  This Travco was not made to sit on a driveway.   Last summer, we ventured down to Mobile, Alabama to visit my son in college.  He had a summer job while waiting for his senior year to begin.  My dad went along for the ride and we were taking everyone to tour the USS Alabama.  She's a famous WWII battleship.

Granddad gives Jonah a front seat view while we travel.    The trip takes about 4 hours or a little less.  We were in motion so this was a "hold up the camera - shoot - hope for the best" picture.  I couldn't exactly pose a shot while driving.  

There is a large bridge on the top side of the Mobile area.  At the summit, it offers a great view of the bay area.

The kids think these big bridges are so cool.  

The ship was moored in Mobile bay.  She is a permanent addition and a popular tourist attraction.

Granddad, Tina, and Jared pose with Joshua and Jonah.  This was taken in the mess hall, which surrounded a gun turret.  The turret assembly extended for five stories.
