Battleships and Heaven on Earth!

Traveling back in time a week or two (or three?) to vacation...
We went to see the USS North Carolina or what Gibson called the "boat". I think we toured nine levels or whatever you call them on a ship. We were all exhausted by the end of the tour. Gibson was a trooper though and only got irritated towards the very end because he was starving. :(
Here's Gibson and Jason with one of the fighter planes that they had on deck.
Can you see the people of the boat taking pictures of us on the ship? (i'm easily amused.)
Jason, Gibson & I beside the big guns on the USS North Carolina
Going down!
Closing the door (it was a little heavy and he could really use some help.)
Gibson steering the ship (and he doesn't even have a license). This is me trying to convice Gibson to stick his head through the porthole so Jason & Lisa could take a picture!
Finally!
Once we left the battleship (and fed the poor kid), we hunted for this indoor playground that we had found online. We paid $5.95 for Gibson to play at the gigantic playground that was a least the size of a gymnasium. This was the best 6 bucks we have ever spent! And the bestest (hehe!) part was he had the entire thing to himself. He had a ball! He was soooo tired by the time we left! He could barely hold his head up. We definitely got our money's worth at this stop.
(i don't have many pics here because the ones that i do have are really dark and hard to see anything. my brillant photgraphy at work again!) :(

Gibson bouncing in the bounce house! (This was right up his alley!)
Looking very devious!
Confession: Jason and I were more excited about the ball pits than Gibson was. Seriously, when's the last time you found a ball pit to play in? Jason & I had a blast. We had to convice Gibson he had a blast in the ball pit.
Although, Gibson did have a blast climbing up to the very top of the playground but only if mom or dad climbed up with him. (btw, these things are not made for grown-ups. can you tell?)
Next...Chuck E. Cheese and more!
