The Weekend Roundup 'U'

The long USA weekend begins, so it's the perfect time for Tom's fun meme The Weekend Roundup. the last vowel in our 26 letter alphabet offers clues that don't always starting with the letter...


Today's first 'U' is Submarine, or in German, Unterseeboot. This is from 1999 (when the kids were much younger...) at the impressive USS Nautilus located at the Submarine Force Museum at the US Sub Base in Groton CT (and it's free admission :)

Another 'U' is the SS United States, once the fastest ocean liner. This is from 2000 where we captured a glimpse of the ship, as close as we could get to the behemoth moored at a pier in Philadelphia. I believe the craft is still there...

Then there is the Beehive State of Utah. My brother lives out there and has a banner of the Utah State University 'Utes'

Favorite. Seymour Congregational Church this week continued a Memorial Day tradition of placing flags on the front lawn of the church. The flags as a memoriam to those who died in service to us. Have a great week, all…
