San Diego - USS Midway Tour

Today we went down to San Diego to go on a tour of the USS Midway aircraft carrier.  Stan's parents got us tickets for his birthday.  We first stopped by a farmer's market near the pier.  I love walking around and sampling yummy food at street fairs.  Next it was on to the ship. It was pretty amazing.  It reconfirmed a suspicion I had - life on a ship in the navy would be cramped!  The ship was huge and I could imagine getting lost easily.  There was a good audio tour to help explain things. The planes and helicopters were very cool to see too.  One of my favorite things was talking to a veteran who landed on Omaha Beach on D-Day.  I just felt so in awe and grateful for the sacrifices our armed servicemen/women make.
