Military Museum of Southern New England

For Memorial Day Joshua and I went to the Military Museum of Southern New England located in Danbury, CT. They had open turret day where you are allowed to climb inside any of the vehicles. Joshua (and I) had fun climbing all over the tanks and seeing how little space the men really had to work in!
