Did that Ship (not boat) Sink?

Seamus, “Why is it so cold?” “It’s the North!!!!” I yelled back. Three nights in a row, we (the kids) had the coldest room in the hotel for some unknown reason, and boy was Dad jealous. After we got over the cold and finally slept we had an awesome time out and about the city of Stockholm. One day we visited a museum of the famous shipwreck, the Vasa. The Vasa sunk on its maiden voyage on August 10, 1628, due to terrible weight distribution. It was recovered 333 years later, renovated, and placed inside of the Vasa Museum.
That night the kids went and hung out in the Old Town. We went to Ben & Jerry’s and got amazing Belgian Waffle Sundaes. They toasted a Belgian waffle to a golden brown, placed a ball of Chocolate Ice Cream on top drizzled with chocolate sauce. As Homer Simpson would say, “MMMMmmmmmmm………. Belgian Waffle Sundae….AAAAGGHHHHH…...”
