I figured that somewhere in town there would be a cool historical tea shop. But I haven't found anything yet! There is a Boston Tea Party museum and gift shop, but it caught on fire a few years ago and they are still trying to raise money to re-open it.Melaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15816995372527279642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-6663623848014084002009-12-01T18:49:14.562-05:002009-12-01T18:49:14.562-05:00I have come across an original seabees post card f...I have come across an original seabees post card from 1942;<br><br>From: <br>Felaws S2C<br>Bat 65 6B Plat 2 NCJC<br>Camp Peary Williamburg VA<br>Postmarked --Dec 22 6 PM 1942<br>To: <br>Mrs Eula B Williamson<br>C/O Accounting Dept <br>Alabama D Dock and S Bldg<br>Mobile AL<br><br>We build and fight with all our might: top of the front side.<br>In the middle here is the picture of the bee with a gun looking thing of some sort, it is a circle (the bee is inside and the inside is blue with a pinkish colored "seabees" and outlined.)<br>at the bottom of the cartoon bee it says :<br>United States Naval Construction Battalionspattiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13349113260953059309noreply@blogger.com
