Many of you know Spencer had been obsessed with cruise ships. He saw one while we drove over a bridge in Maine vising Aunt Annie last year and has been asking about "hotel boats" ever since. He says he's saving his money to go on one and often asks how much it will cost. I knew that some cruise ships docked in Long Beach but couldn't figure out how to get on without paying full price. That's when Uncle Paul mentioned the Queen Mary. It is permanently moored there and operates like a museum. So it was a perfect way for Spencer to experience a hotel boat within his one-hour attention span. Except that it turns out that hotel boats (well, maybe just 80-year-old ones) aren't really all they're cracked up to be.
This is the chain that holds ONE of the two anchors.
On the bridge.
