We visited the USS Constitution, Old Ironsides, in Boston
It's the original boat from the war of 1812, and still in great shape
On board checking out the cannons
And cannonballs

Resting on a bulkhead or something
Checking out the hammocks
The boat was really cool, we accidentally went to a lower deck we weren't supposed to go to - major low ceilings and claustrophobia inducing. I'm not cut out for the Navy.
There is a cool museum right next to the ship too with lots of cool displays
Anna and I solved the puzzle
There was a puppet show theater with fun puppets and era appropriate food to make a little dinner. The kids had a great time playing there.
Admiral Matthew
John and Grant loved playing with this wooden ship, and wooden people
Anna liked trying out the hammocks at the museum too
There was a little display to lift a pretend goat up and down as if loading onto a ship. The kids loved making the goat bleat. I didn't get to read as many of the adult display info about the ship and war of 1812 'cause I was playing with kids and such. We had a great time.
