The USS Midway

On Sunday after all of our friends left San Diego, Nick and I went to the USS Midway Air Craft Carrier that is ported in the San Diego Harbor.   The ship was decommissioned and turned into a museum.  This was by far one of the best museums I've been to and well worth the $16 admission.  There were volunteer veterans who were giving detailed lectures about take offs and landings, as well as the catapult cables and Fresnel Lens lights for landing. IT. WAS. SO. COOL.  I always said that if I had to go into the military that I would go Navy.  I still stand by it, though I'm not sure that I'm made of tough enough stuff.

Can you tell that I'm getting pummeled by G-force?

They have whole dental offices on the ship.

Navigator's chair.  Too bad I couldn't see over all of the
equipment to navigate anything.

We also did one of those flight simulator things. Nick flew and I video taped it....and then felt very motion sick afterwards.
