In honor of Veterans Day, Applebee's was giving a free meal to all veterans. We knew that it would be pretty busy here in Jacksonville, so we decided to go to another town about 45 miles away that we figured we'd have better luck since it wasn't a military town (sounds crazy just to get a free meal right?). On the way we saw a billboard for the Battleship North Carolina (http://www.battleshipnc.com/) and we decided to stop and check it out. For anyone that knows us probably is impressed that we actually stopped to see something that we had to pay to go into. I mean, we are the couple who went to Paris and didn't stop by a single museum.

Me hanging from a hook that they hung the meat on in the butchers area. I tried playing dead but then got the giggles.

On deck. It was amazing how big the guns are.

After we toured the ship we went to Applebee's to get our free meal and saw the line out the door. The wait was over an hour, so we decided to go somewhere else (they're hopefully fixing our water tomorrow so I won't have an excuse not to cook, so I've definitely been taking advantage).
I've talked before about how "interesting" it is going out to eat with Ryan...here he was drinking some of Andrew's water.
