While we were in Portland, The Rose Festival was going on. Scott's Dad is heavily involved with it so he set us up with a tour of one of the Navy ships that was there for the occasion, the USS Ingraham. We didn't have to wait in the two hour line for a tour. It was very cool! Here we are on board along with the sailor who gave us the tour.
The Ingraham is a frigate and the last one of its kind built. Here we are checking out the helicopter landing area.
Matthew liked the guns.
Here we are on the bridge. Lots of cool controls. Our tour guide was the navigator so he told us all about navigating and what goes on while they are under way.

Grandpa Guptill gives it a try.
And Matthew and Anna in the chair
Matthew likes talking on that phone!
Matthew had to check out every little...or BIG...thing!
And every nook and cranny
The kids found a nice place to sit!
Grant was a little fussy. I think he would rather have been running around.
It was a cool tour!!
