A little trip to a local Monument

[[JiF]corn]

The family and I went out to visit a few areas i haven't seen in awhile and they are in my own backyard.
I'll post a few pics for you guys to enjoy.
One picture is of the battleship Texas.
If you click on the pics i think they will get larger.

Here are a few pics from the top of the monument.
The monument is $4.00 for a ride to the top and you can hang out up there as long as you want.
It's 45 floors.

Battleship Texas

The pictures from the monument were taken through a sort whitish plexiglass.
That's why they are not as clear.

We arrived too late to go on board the ship.
Hope to go back and get some pics of the inside.
