1/13/2001 - Hotel Queen Mary

-


 In January of 2001, me and my family met up in Long Beach, CA and stayed at the Queen Mary for a few nights.

This ship was used during the war and sailing trips across the waters.

The room was small and cute.  We had lunch on the ship and walked around the decks.  I do remember seeing different things on the ship.


Here is a picture of my sister sitting in front of the window in the room.

You should check it out.
