Our first stop was the Live Feed Command Center where they watch the traffic flowing on the Interstate, Bay Way, Causeway and Tunnels from nearly Mississippi to Florida.
Here is a link to the live video if you want to see for yourself: Mobile Traffic
Apparently this is the best job in the whole department. It think it would be fun to watch people come and go.
After Mr. Bob answered a ton of questions, we went down into the tunnels underneath the Tunnel.
We climbed down a bunch of steep stairs.
I tried to get a picture of how deep below ground we were. We were underneath the river too.
They had big fans blowing air into the tunnels. It nearly knocked to boys off their feet.
Troop 22 and Family - Elyse, Maureen, Ari, Ethan, Dylan, Ross, Zane, Mr. Bob, Gloria and me.
After the tour, we took the boys to the Square for a picnic and to feed the squirrels.
Look at all these fat little guys, I counted 13 at least in this picture.

I love the square, my college sweetheart and I had a great day feeding peanuts to fat little squirrel one spring break. I love to sit and look at the trees and watch to people go by.
We had a great time at the tunnels! I am glad Cub Scouts is starting up again.

That looks like a fun outing. Although, I don't agree on watching the traffic being a fun job--oh the monotony!
