One of the most memorable things we did in SD was to visit the USS Midway, a retired Airforce Carrier that was used in active duty from 1946 through the Gulf War. The entire tour was AMAZING! I wish I could remember all the cool facts they rattled off, but what the kids enjoyed the most were seeing the sailors' quarters, climbing in and out of all the fighter planes and helicopters, and seeing the inside workings of this enormous ship. The gas tank of this ship holds 3 MILLION gallons! It was so amazing:
Inside the 'brig"...(can we get one of these installed in our basement?)
trying to reel in the enormous anchors..
getting our "pre-flight" briefing...
ready to fly!
Inside a rescue helicopter used in the liberation of Kuwait.
The view of the San Diego Bay, from the USS Midway. In the distance you can see the Coronado Bay Bridge.
