Trip to Portland

I went to Portland with my whole family for two days and one night. We went to the Forestry Museum, the Children Museum and the Science Museum.

The Science Museum was filled with incredible stuff such as the Blueback which is a submarine. The Blueback was filled with all kinds of weapons and torpedoes. Also, they had an engine room that was very noisy. Where they control the submarine was very noisy too. The tour guide pressed a button on the ceiling of the submarine, and he said dive, dive, dive!

There were two kids at the control. They pressed down on the steering wheel and the submarine went under water. The kids pulled the steering wheel up so we could get out of the water. Then we went to all other places in the submarine. My favorite part was the torpedo room. There was a TV and we watched a quick movie about submarines.

I fogot to tell you that the Blueback isn't blue. It's just the name of the submarine.
