Rem rushes out each evening that we are home to wait for the Constitution's evening colors demonstration and the firing of the saluting battery and the chance to help take down the flag near the house. Among the patient and indulging park service workers is Ranger Dan (pictured here).
Rem had the chance to ride around the navy yard in style - courtesy of this Korean War era jeep - complete with great views of the harbor and the city.
Rem hangs out on the Friendship, a replica of an 18th century merchant ship that sails periodically through the year, this time to provide training for the Constitution's crew. Otherwise, the Friendship serves as a museum in Salem.
We enjoyed the hands-on experience on the ship. Rem took a turn at the ship's wheel before we went below deck to explore. The crew, National Park workers and volunteers, energetically explained all facets of the working ship and its historical significance.
