Tall Ship Festival

Labor Day weekend we decided to go down to San Diego and check out the Tall Ship Festival at the Maritime Museum.  We had never been before but figured it would be a great weekend to drive down and enjoy the museum.


We were surprised at how many ships were there and how many  you could board and take a look around.  They even had the ship used on Master and Commander with Russel Crowe.  The Star of India is always the main attraction and probably my favorite one but it was great to see so many different types of ships.

The weather was great, sunny with a slight breeze and I finally got to wear my hat I bought for our trip to Monterrey.


Here's a picture of the Star of India with full sails docked in the harbor.  They do take her out to see on special trips but mainly have exhibits on board.

We did get someone to take a picture of us together, a rare occurrence.
