Needless to say I played hooky from work this afternoon and took a little tour. I took a bunch of pictures and will post them as I find time.

They wouldn't let us up into the Conning Tower so this is the best I could do. I held the camera up as high as I could and snapped a pic. I tried to hang back from the group so I could climb up and get a shot of the TDC, but the tour guide was wise to me I think.
