On our way to Port Aransas for vacation we stopped in Corpus Cristi and took a tour of the USS Lexington. It is a retired aircraft carrier turned into a floating museum. The ship was full of replicas from historical Navy ships. It was very interesting to see how things were done "back then", as the boys like to say!
The boys thought it was fun to sit in the barber's chair.
The cafeteria ~ complete with fake food!
This is the special dining room for important officers and visitors to the ship.
There was even a dentist on the ship!
Just a sampling of the instruments in the Engine Room of the ship.
A view of the hospital.........
Safety equipment that the firefighters on board the ship wore.
Checking out a model of the ship they are standing on!
Future Fighter Pilots!
The top deck of the USS Lexington had replicas of airplanes that were flown "back then"!
