USS MIDWAY- San Diego, CA

Last weekend we visited the USS Midway in San Diego. It took us about 1.5 hours to get there and we wondered why this was our first visit. It was amazing history and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

The kids with the Naval men and woman explaining what job they did for the ship- very cool!

Ethan sitting in the cockpit of a real fighter plane- he loved that!!



It never ceases to amaze me how so many can take out freedom for grated. The men and woman who fought to make this country what it is are true heroes and we appreciate them and the gift of freedom that they fought to give and maintain!!
