Battleship Cove, New Bedford, Massachusetts
Age and Grade: 6 (1)
My husband and older son went on this overnight trip with the Cub Scout Pack to Battleship Cove. Kids under six are not allowed due to safety reasons so sadly the younger son had to stay home.
They toured the ships then ate as a group. They watched a movie outdoors on the deck of the ship. Then they went to bed in cramped sleeping quarters. Some beds had springs and my husband said every time anyone moved it echoed through the metal sleeping chambers. Men shored like crazy. My husband usually can sleep anywhere and through anything but this was the worst night of sleep in his life. They had a breakfast in the morning then left. But it was a great trip for our son who had no trouble sleeping. This was a highlight of his Cub Scout days.
I was home with our younger son and begged my husband to take some photos, there were five so here are three of them. I'm the photographer in the family and I take far more than necessary now that they are digital and free of charge.
