Today we visited the Tall Ships docked in the Harbor. The kids were able to tour the boat with an 18th Century Docent that taught us about this trading vessel way back when as it would sail the West Coast trading items at local ports.
The kids were really curious about the sleeping quarters. "Sorry kids, that's a private area." of course, this heightened their curiosity even more.
Needless to say, we will be returning tomorrow for another Tall Ship tour. At the end of today's tour, Sierra negotiated with the ship Captain a trade of her own. "If I bring you some fresh baked chocolate chip cookies will you let us tour the sleeping quarters?" desperate for any homecooked food, he quickly replied" INDEED we will!"
24 hours later - We returned with Brownies in hand, one batch of flour, one batch of Gluten Free! Yeah for that, the Captain was a Gluten Free female. We got the VIP VIP tour of the behind the scenes of the ship - sleeping quarters, the Galley and, then (drumrole) the Captain's quarters. "Oh look! He does oragami!"
