On Board the U.S.S. Turner Joy Destroyer

I like to plan outings but once in a while it's fun to not have anything planned and just head out and be spontaneous. Even with the constant cloudy and cold weather in January, we still like to head outdoors and enjoy the day.

We drove to Poulsbo and stopped at Sluy's Bakery. It's always hard to pick which pastries you want to get, they have such a large selection. Everything looks good. After the bakery we drove to Bremerton and Jacob asked if we wanted to board the military museum ship. Of course we wanted to. We find our military and our history very interesting.

It's a good thing we visited the museum ship at this time. It allowed us to really take our time exploring the entire ship without it being crowded. 

She is one of the most complete naval museum ships offering a unique historical naval adventure taking visitors back to the Vietnam War.

It was definitely cold.

Conference room

Such a tiny shower. I hope they had constant hot water.

No restroom door. Yikes.

Post Office. 

The POW/MIA table has been in place since the end of the Vietnam War.  

The galley

I wonder if meals tasted as good as they sound.

Medical

Interesting story

Sleeping in these bunks would probably have given me claustrophobia. 

Also, going up and down ladders is a bit challenging given how narrow and steep they are. You also have to be careful not to bump your head when you're going up.

This was such a fun experience. Riley really enjoyed seeing the different rooms and learning about the ship's history.
