Baton Rouge, LA
Sept. 20-21, 2003 - Headed out from home and stopped over in Baton Rouge. Went through the U.S.S. Kidd museum near our hotel, and also toured the ship that is permanently docked on the Mississippi River. It was amazing to see the living conditions those men had to contend with, especially the bathroom facilities!
