August part 4

 +JMJ+
Dockers for lunch


This milkshake was the best one I ever had

My breadbowl of clam chowder was delicious

After lunch we still had time before the ferry so we decided to walk down to the beach

We didn't want to pay for parking so we had to walk for fifteen twenty minutes




Some great waves

We decided to take the five dollar light house tour. This building was a lab

The light tower. It isn't a light house because there isn't a house





The last ladder was creepy


The view was amazing






Barge coming in









Map of shipwrecks on the great lakes

The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake called Gitche Gumee

Walking back to the car

Here comes the ferry

On board


WISCONSIN!







We passed the capital on our way to watch some my cousins in a play

I'm finally caught up

August part 3

The USS Silversides Submarine



These boards were kind of rickety. I would hate to walk on them in the middle of the ocean







Climbing down into the belly of the sub

It was unpleasant to see the water through these holes

You could see the water while descending 


They didn't explain the process

Anyone want to sleep next to the missiles?

Lots of small doors to climb through

Tiny kitchen, which wasn't the actual kitchen, but more of a coffee room

You can pass food through this window into a dining room

Little dining room

After the tiny dining room their was a bunch of officers' cabins



Less important officers. Three had to share this closet

Closet for two

Office with typwriter





The real kitchen. It was slightly larger than the other one

The real dining room was slightly bigger as well

More bunks. I would hate to have one of the middle ones


Bathroom off to the side, another door going further in

More toilets

Sinks across the hall

Further in and further up



The end in sight





It was awesome, but I never want to go underwater in a submarine

We went back into museum after we toured the boats. This was only picture I got from upstairs

Deer eating bushes by someone's garage

To be continued with lunch at Dockers and a Light tower tour
