Uss Yorktown Trip!

Our Cubs did the Uss Yorktown this weekend and it truly was an experience that they will never forget! Seeing that huge carrier as we were crossing the bridge was amazing and then spending two days on it was a bit overwhelming! The sleeping was "boys" and "girls" and it was nice to see that the girls had the "officer's quarters" while the poor boys stayed in the regular bunks.

The ship offered many sites and we ate 2 meals in the mess hall. It was so amazing to see how big those carriers are and how many airplanes it could hold. The submarine was a shock; I don't think I have been on one since I was a child!

They had a beautiful Congressional Medal of Honor Museum on board that was very impressive! The theater was in the elevator bay where they would move planes to the flight deck.
Everyone was very accommodating to the scouts and it was amazing when the ship was closed to the public and we got the run of the ship.

The fire alarm at 6:15 was not fun but got everyone up and moving in time for breakfast!
