Today we ventured about an hour east to see the Tall Ships.
We were about to board 4 out of 7, as some already left the port by the time we arrived. However we did witness hearing cannons go off - which was pretty cool in itself.
These ships were replicas of ships that had been in wars over 200 years ago, in the War of 1812.
We touched numerous ropes, sails, masts, helm wheels, even cannons! One of the ships was called the Bounty II was in the movie staring Marland Brando. We then ventured over to a local ferry where for the total roundtrip fee of $4, we enjoyed a boat ride (thanks E Family for that tip two years ago). And finally upon arriving back home, we stopped for ice cream and hit the beach - because it was Memorial Day after all.
A lovely time was enjoyed by this Family this Memorial Day weekend. We hope you enjoyed your weekend as well.
