USS Midway

Wednesday was our day to tour the USS Midway and Little Italy, Downtown San Diego. It was awesome to walk in and around the Midway, a decommissioned aircraft carrier from WWII. It's hard to believe that today's carries are twice as big!

Getting ready to board the USS Midway...
My all time favorite statue with the USS John Stenis behind getting ready for an underway!

We had to snap this one for our friend, Leo, who was on the USS Oriskany!


These guys were too cute, and you know me having a thing for cute old guys. Most of the volunteers on the Midway were retired servicemembers that served on the ship years ago. You can't get any better first-hand knowledge than from those guys!
