Ships

We had sweet tip from Mike F. at the ice rink about some visitors that were hanging out in downtown Charleston near Haddad Riverfront Park.  The Nina and the Pinta...

Replicas of the Christopher Columbus ships.  Boy, was it cool to walk around on them and see how they worked.  The ships were pretty stinking small when you consider the trip across the Atlantic Ocean, a full crew, and the a hope of a destination. The kids had a blast.

Here they are upper deck of the Pinta.

  

They had giant braided rope bumpers.  How cute is Lexy though...?

Isaac hanging out on the bow of the Nina.  Look at the size of that anchor.

Here is the back of the Nina, with a little peak of Lexy's head.

And one of Isaac with both ships behind him.

Bonus points if you comment on that wonderful shirt that he is wearing... :)
