The Flat Stanleys visit Battleship Cove

We are currently hosting three Flat Stanley siblings from the Winston family in Texas. C and R thought the siblings might enjoy touring the world's largest collection of historic naval ships at Battleship Cove in Fall River, Massachusetts.
They toured the USS Massachusetts first. We learned that this ship was involved in 35 WWII battles and never lost a man in combat.



No one thought this would be a nice place to sleep. R looks pretty comfortable though.

The Wilson Flat Stanley siblings also enjoyed touring the USS JosephP. Kennedy, Jr. This destroyer earned two battle stars in the Korean War and was the only American vessel to board a Soviet-chartered ship during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.

While touring the battleships, we saw men working at the very top of the nearby Braga Bridge. The Flat Stanley siblings felt a bit ill for a moment when they saw that.

Your kids are so adorable! R looks perfectly content on that cot too.

Glad the Stanley family got to go to such a cool place, even if the bridge did make them a bit squeemish:-).

This looks like such a fun historical place to visit!
