A Walk Through Time

This week we went on the downtown walking tour.  We went to the Mobile Museum and learned about Indians. We also got to get in the middle of the Hunley submarine and make the propeller spin.  We took the three-thousand, five hundred seventy-nine steps all over town.  We learned some interesting laws.  We ate lunch at the museum.
