The Champion Family

Riley has joined Cub Scouts and our first overnight expedition was to spend the night on the USS Alabama. We arrived at the Ship around 5pm and met up with the rest of the pack. We got our safety briefing and boarded the ship, and were led to our sleeping quarters, which consisted of a room full of three high bunks.. looks like I won't be sleeping tonight :). We choose our bunks and stow our stuff then we have about an hour to go explore the ship, so up and down the ladders we go. We meet back up with the pack to eat.. Domino's Pizza delivers to the ship. After we eat, we are sent on a scavenger hunt around the ship. we have to find out things like how many loaves of bread were made dailey on the ship (550), How many gallons of ice cream were eaten dailey (100.After about two hours of scavenging around the ship we meet back up with the pack to play a game of Battleship bean bag toss, the younger boys won against the older boys!! Then it was time for lights out, about 10:30. We all get some "sleep", I think Riley woke up around 4:30 Saturday morning, we finally get up and going around 6:00. The line for breakfast was a little long so we go to the air museum and to the USS Drum Submarine to check them out.
