USS Midway

One of our stops on the itinerary in San Diego included the USS Midway. This is an aircraft carrier docked in San Diego Bay. She was commissioned after the end of WWII, and was the largest ship in the world until 1955. She served the Navy for 47 years and was a part of the Vietnam War as well as Operation Desert Storm. There were a number of planes and helicopters on the Midway. On several, you could even get into the cockpit and play with the controls. All three of the kids enjoyed this (Reagan, Hudson and John!). Hudson absolutely loved getting into all the different aircraft. Right before we left, he talked us into going inside one more time to look at a few of the jets. I'm not sure who had more fun....the kids or John!
