Need a food break...
Lunch at Tun Tavern which is conveniently located inside the museum! Nick and I had fish and chips and the boys had a Philly Cheesesteak. The only thing that would have made this better would be to serve the beer in the old timey steins...If you are reading this Tun Tavern you have some for sale in the gift shop ;)
A model of the original Tun Tavern which is the "birthplace" of the Marine Corps. It is located in Philadelphia. Sadly it is no longer there but there is a plaque marking the location. We have been there, very hard to locate actually. I'll have to find my pictures....Alrighty then, now that we are refueled we can continue on with our tour...more tomorrow :)
Linking with Signs, Signs & Good Fences ...how many signs and "fences" can you find?

Looks like a great museum to visit. My nephew was in the marines.. I like the model of the tavern! Great photos, thanks for sharing your visit. Have a happy day!
ReplyDeletei saw a couple of rope fences and a stone wall. :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't count the fences but there were many of them :)
ReplyDeleteLooked at the last posts of this museum also, that must
be a great place to spend some hours! :))
Have a beautiful day

What a fun place to visit...learning Can be fun, right?? So nice that YOUR Marine was with you for this one.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great place to visit!
ReplyDeleteThe stone wall mockup is particularly eye catching!
ReplyDeleteYou visit such fun and interesting places. I liked the miniature of the building with the fencing around it and also the rope fencing in #3 & #5.
ReplyDeleteWhat a world for kids, I bet.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing all the photos from your visit to the National Museum of the Marine Corp Maybe I mentioned this before but our son-in-law just got out of the Marines last August after serving two tours of duty in Afghanistan. Our daughter and he were hoping to make it to this museum while stationed in N.C. but they didn't get the chance...
ReplyDeleteThank you for the great pictures, the info, and the link!
ReplyDeleteThe food at the tavern sounds wonderful! And everything looks so realistic! I love the huge old flag with the blue lights.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a very interesting place. I had seen it off I95 for a long time and no idea what it was. Thanks for enlightening me.
ReplyDeletewere you in the service or maybe your hubby? i just wondered what made you go to this museum? looks very cool. ( ;
ReplyDeletemy husband was in the marine corps right after high school :)
DeleteI'm sure there's a lot of fun to be had there (love the top shot) and loads to learn about!
ReplyDeleteThe first photo looks like a medieval castle. No doubt a interesting place to visit.
ReplyDeleteI love it when bloggers take us all on their museum tours with them!
ReplyDeleteI found this post very interesting Tanya, looks like a great visit to the museum.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun place to lunch and learn. Great job as usual!
ReplyDeleteYou really had a great visit. I love that first shot!
ReplyDeleteNice tour.
ReplyDeleteI never knew there was such a thing as a national marine museum, but it does make sense. Nick must have been proud. And you didn't have a Philly cheese steak? Shame!
ReplyDeleteHi Tanya,
ReplyDeleteGlad y'all got to go the USMC museum!
I didn't count the sigs of fences, but sure was glad to see that beautiful American flag, with the reflection of the lights on it!
May Freedom Reign for all!
Thank you for visiting my blog.
Have a Beautiful Day!
Peace :)
Very interesting post.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Looks like a fascinating museum and you all had a great time!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great looking place, and lunch!
ReplyDeleteTanya, just been back and read all missed posts on the museum, fantastic.. I can see that the boys enjoyed it very much, I can see how they'd find it fascinating.
ReplyDeleteBTW I tried to vote for your sunrise shot, no luck.. is it only open to USA residents?

Loved this! The displays are wonderful. Loved seeing the Tavern miniature, and see you all got to eat there as well. My hubby would really enjoy this.
