The Portland Rose Festival began this month, and one of the fun things they offer annually is a tour of tall ships. The Lady Washington and The Hawaiian Chieftain were open for free dockside tours, and we took the kids aboard. It was educational and very fun.
Ryan really wasn't that excited by the tour, but Mommy, Daddy, and Abby had a great time. He was terrified to get near the cannon (or let Abby get near it), but we finally convinced him it wasn't "loaded" or dangerous! Once he was convinced it was safe, he wanted to have his picture taken sitting on the cannon, though he only reluctantly let Daddy take this picture of Mommy and him with a "pirate."
As a fun side note for my Disney-loving readers, The Lady Washington was The Interceptor in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. There is a piece of the Interceptor's name plate tacked up on the galley wall that is signed by members of the cast and crew.
