USS Midway

November 21, 2010

Today we awoke to much rain and decided to visit the USS Midway.  The USS Midway is the longest-serving carrier in the history of the Navy.  We spent 4 hours there.  The kids and Mark rode in a WW2 aircraft simulator.  They fought the Japanese and flew upside down and all over.  Macaira rode with Poff and Drake and Mark rode together.  I opted out of this ride and photographed instead.   We met a WW2 Marine Dive Bomber Gunner.  He flew over 150 missions and was fascinating to chat with.  We returned to our RV park, the kids played dodge ball and climbed trees.  It is much cooler in CA than we planned on.  We are off to Sea World tomorrow and then to visit the Herron's!  It has all been great!
