I remember being shocked at the small size of these ships and thinking about them crossing the ocean, not knowing where they would end up! You are a very lucky grandma to have this adorable boy to travel with! The beach is gorgeous. I would love sitting there with you listening to the water. Thanks for the interesting post!

I cannot fathom the bravery of the men who sailed across the ocean, sailing blind really on those little boats, because I have been on a great big ship, and I got very seasick on that one. Of course, I am glad they did, because then we would have no America, no Internet and no blogs! Then I wouldn't have known you. So it's all good. Glad you had a fun Mother's Day!

What really floored me was the overall small size of the ships and how many men they housed. That and the fact they did cross the Atlantic is a true wonder!
