On Board the Elissa, Galveston TX
Any museum that kids (and kids at heart) can touch and do stuff is a winner with me. This ship had teh added bonus of having a busy crew raising the top mast post hurricane season. The cleaning crew was on hand to help answer question in the tighter quarters. Couple things amazed Lil'Bug.....the steering wheel was HUGE and the compass was pretty fancy.
Mother, wife, sister, friend. This is our second year on the farm, a dream we've had since we were first married. We unschool, AP parent, and grow our own food (or try to).

Lil"bug insisted all the way to the bay that this was just going to be some, "stupid plastic playground crap." Whoa. Where on earth did she learn that kind of language? Blush. Me? Oh my. When we walked up the ramp she stopped in awe. I believe her exact words were, "Ah Mama, I am so sorry I said it would be stupid plastic. That is amazing. A real pirate ship!" Actually it was a cotton freight, but it is the same era I guess. It is a triple masted tall ship, cast iron and wood. The test it on open waters a couple times a year. Sea trials.
