USS Midway

On Saturday we went to San Diego to tour the USS Midway, the longest serving aircraft carrier in America-from the end of WWII to 1991. There was so much to see and do. The kids really liked it. The carrier is 1,001 ft long, 258 ft wide, has a 4.02 acre flight deck, and is 69000 tons total weight.

I was feeling claustrophobic in the sleeping quarters. There were so many beds in such a small space!!

This veteran helped the kids make a knot bracelet.

We definitely need this at home :o)




On the flight deck!

The boys loved pushing all the buttons!!

I don't know if anyone else ever has these experiences but we have them often on vacation. The first picture was taken by a "baby boomer" and the second by a younger guy! Please, when you take a picture get the background in it!! And this was after we asked him to get the plane in it....
