Going on the USS Pampanito, a real submarine!
by Alisa
The submarine was really fun two days ago. We could see it from far away. First we rode on the back of a bike on a wagon to get there. On the way there we saw a lot of sea lions. We stopped at Ghirardelli for ice cream and then we went on the submarine. I was on first! I was really excited! The beds were really tiny and the bombs (missiles) were big and shiny. Grown men would sleep on those tiny beds in the submarine. I wouldn’t want to live on a submarine but it does sound cool.

Alisa, We’re glad you got to tour the USS Pampanito and you even got to take a wagon ride to see it. Your ice cream looks delicious and I love your smile in the picture. Also very nice pictures of the submarine. I don’t think I would like to live on a submarine either! My brother – your great Uncle Mike served in the Marines and lived on a submarine for 3 months off the coast of Africa. The lights never went out because they slept in shifts so he would have to try to sleep next to guys that were right next to him awake and playing cards! He did get to see cool places while he was in the Marines though. We miss you but we are so happy that you are having these cool experiences. We love you, Grandpa Tim and Grandma Debbie
