HMS Victory


Tuesday October 23. Quiet day today mostly. Ellen isn't feeling well and rested all day. Marna and my mom did a little shopping close by in Gosport. Sue and I took the boys across the harbor again to see the Royal Navy museum and the HMS Victory -- Lord Admiral Nelson's flagship during the battle of Trafalgar. The Victory has been in drydock in Portsmouth for the last 150 years or so and is open to visitors for a small fee. Well worth the visit! Tomorrow we're headed up to London for the day, then on to Ashford for one night in a cottage that Marna found. Then on Thursday we take an early train to Lyon, France to visit my cousin and her family. Looking forward to that!
