Atticus is one very lucky boy. While Grandma and Grandpa were here, he got to go on a very special excursion with them all on his own. They took him to the U-Boat Wilhelm Bauer (U2540) in Bremerhaven. Since I wasn't there I can't really make too many comments on it, though I can comment that Atticus came home beaming with excitement about everything he got to see and getting to do it on his own. One-on-one time with Grandma and Grandpa is pretty awesome.
Apparently Atticus was a little apprehensive to go inside the submarine, but once inside he was pretty captivated by all the little gadgets to look at and hallways to explore.
And once he got into the captain's chair, he was sold.
Can't say that I would ever want to do a 6 month stint on a fully staffed submarine (58 people for this particular one) but judging by the pictures and Atticus' account it looks like a pretty cool thing to at least go and explore. Perhaps Atticus will have to take us and show us around one day now that he is the expert!
