USS MIDWAY

My dad was able to visit again right before Thanksgiving and was in town for only one day. I gave him the choice to go to the King Tut exhibit or the USS Midway Museum. He chose the Midway!

The link above has a lot of information on the aircraft carrier turned museum. It was the largest ship in the world until 1955, and let me tell you - it is MASSIVE. We wandered down a few levels and without the arrows showing us where to go, we would have been lost. It would be so easy to wander around for hours down there and not know where you were or how to get out.

We also concluded that the Navy is not the place for tall folk. While I was fine in the lower levels, my dad had to hunch over most of the time to avoid hitting his head on the ceiling, bulkheads, pipes, doorways, etc.

After the museum we headed over to La Jolla for sushi. We were able to catch the sunset and found a small beach where a bunch of fat seals haul out for the night.
