It is hard to sleep on a submarine

        This is where I slept last Saturday night. Aboard the USS Cobia SS 245. 

Once a World War II warship, the Cobia now is part of the Wisconsin Maritime Museum in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Not only do you get to tour this amazing ship, you also get to sleep there! After the tour, they separate different families into different rooms of the sub to sleep. My family got the aft torpedo room which means the torpedo room in the back of ship. And yes, a submarine has two torpedo rooms. During the tour, we learned a lot about the history of the Cobia, and about life on a submarine. You also get to do a diving drill, fire a torpedo, and shoot a 40 mm deck gun. Cool right?! 

When you wake up, you get to look at the museum and you are the only people there because the museum hasn't officially opened yet. But, alas, all good things must come to an end. That morning, we set off to go camping in Door County. That was fun too. We got to see all the pretty scenery, go biking on the trails. And last but not least, see Despicable Me 2 in an old 50's style drive in movie theater with those speakers that hang in your window and everything.

  We also got to go to this really good diner called 

Wilson's. We went there for lunch and later for ice cream.

        Now lets get into detail. Sleeping on the submarine was fun, but I could not fall asleep (hence the title of this post.) I mean the ceiling was like this far from my face [                              ]. OK that was a little exaggerated but still it was really close. It was also creepy to think that you are sleeping in the same room as a torpedo! As far as sleeping goes, I prefer camping. But as far as awesomeness goes, give me the sub! Well, I think I have said all that I can  say; so now it is time for my photo compilation.

See what I mean, small sleeping space.
