USS Midway Museum

Vacation Day 6 - A Day in San Diego

Christina and family picked us up at our motel at 9 AM so that we could get to the USS Midway Museum when they opened at 10:00. The museum was something that George was very interested in seeing so I took a lot of pictures for him. It wasn't hard to do because the ship was huge! The USS Midway was a naval aircraft carrier commissioned from 1945 - 1992. Ryan and Joseph went in a flight simulator, the kind that doesn't move but lets you "fly" the plane. They loved it! While they were doing that, the rest of us toured the rest of the ship. Hailey and David thought it was a lot of fun to walk through the narrow corridors and climb on the beds. We had lunch at the restaurant on the ship, then toured the flight deck. We were able to sit in the cockpits in a few of the planes. You can see some of the pictures I took by clicking here.
