My daughter is off school today for Colombus Day today. Banks are closed too here in town.

Here is a trivia question - my daugther asked me this driving back from Houston this morning and I had a brain freeze.

What were the three ships that Colombus bought over to America when he discovered it?

An atta boy for the first person who answers it!!!!
