USS Midway

Living in San Diego....there is no dull moment. If anyone ever lives here and says that there is nothing to do, they are crazy. Peoria...has NOTHING to do, San Diego has just about everything you could possibly imagine.

Our adventure this weekend was downtown....There is a Naval aircraft carrier parked and used as a museum. Basically, you pay $17.00 per person, get individual headsets that are your tour guides throughout the day. You can then wander around the three levels of the ship and put buttons on your head set to hear info about it. I think we took about 150 pics, so these are just a few that don't do the ship justice. If anyone comes to visit this is a MUST SEE. Even I liked it! It really makes you appreciate the men in uniform...

First little plane you come to when you enter the ship.

Micah waiting for me to take a picture so we can go through the LONG hallway of doors... not for claustrophobic people!!

Beds where everyone slept....this picture makes the beds look twice as big as they really were. basically, if you sleep on your side, you probably would not fit.

People would not move for this picture but in case you cannot tell it reads "(Pratt) & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp Engine The Engine that won the war" I just wanted to make sure people knew that I won the war....

There was a jail under the main floors and there were bathroom facilities for the prisoners. Micah couldn't help himself.

This dude is in trouble

The Engine room. I cannot imagine how hot this place would be while the engines were running....it was a big tangled mess of machines and big things. crazy

Birds eye view of the ship. If you can read it, Sayonara is spelled out. There were actually navy men in uniform forming the letters to say goodbye to Tokyo Bay.

Uhh i just liked the fact that a lot of the piping was pink or purple haha.

The top deck was loaded with planes and jets and helicopters. You could enter some of them and look around. Amazing!

Statue in the park next to the Midway...you can tell just how big it is by looking at the people next to it.

View from the ship. Coronado bridge is across the way.

My favorite pic of the day.

My two stud muffin pilots. Micah was jealous

Midway, half of it.

The other half of the Midway.

Walking back to the car, Micah and i sat to watch a cruise ship leave....sun was setting as it pulled away.

This is another boat in the harbor that you can tour. People are dressed as pirates. Kinda interesting but the boat looked cool.

Sunset over the harbor....seriously....I could live here. Oh wait, I do.

If you like it....you better come visit us :o)
