Today I took the kids to the USS Bowfin. The USS Bowfin is a fleet attack submarine that fought in the Pacific during WWII. It was launched December 7th 1942, exactly one year to the day after Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese. We had a fun day! I really wanted to take them to see the Arizona Memorial but we got there too late and they had given all the tickets out already. So the only tour available was to the USS Bowfin. And what a wonderful surprise. When we went into the submarine I thought this stinks, literally it stunk...We must have spent an hour touring the sub, taking pictures and talking to a filipino tour guide that was manning the control room. Her name was Rosalina and she came here from the Phillipines only 4 months ago. She told us about the control room and about her family...her accent was so heavy all I got from her was that she had so much at home but here she has nothing. And that all her kids graduated cum laude! Touring the sub was pretty interesting and the kids had fun. The USS Bowfin is just one Museum to see on property. There is the USS Arizona, The USS Bowfin, The Pacific Aviation Museum and one other museum, I'm so sorry that I cant remember!! uugh I wish we would have gotten there a few hours earlier so we could have seen everything. Anyway I guess we have an excuse to go back.
