this morning we enjoyed visiting the queen mary with grandpa. there were a lot of stairs, but by the time sy reached the top and i got all the kids together, grandpa had caught his breath and was ready to go. so we had lots of fun!
the kids explored the engine area for quite a while, actually sat through a documentary, then ran about on the upper decks. 
we got a little history in, a lot of equating boat engine parts to car engine parts - these ship parts were much bigger! 
this is a huge wrench that turns a huge nut that holds the huge propeller in place! much bigger than daddy's tools at home. about 15minutes before we found this one, we found one that was about 30 inches long and 4 inches wide and the boys were so amazed with that one! it was funny to see their reactions.
wow i'm impressed with how quickly you blogged :)
