SAN DIEGO STORY...MARITIME MUSEUM AND THE " MIDWAY "

We spent the morning and part arvo of the 3rd day having a look over the decommissioned aircraft carrier the Midway...It was built about 1943 and saw service in WW2, Korean war and Vietnam, it was for most of that period the biggest ship of the US fleet, it had a crew of about 3500, sailor's , pilots etc

We did our tour using a headphone set and Ipod,but the bridge area was a conducted tour.
All in all an interesting 3 hours.
About one o'clock we headed down Hwy 101 (coastal road) to a town called Carlsbad...it will be a 2 night stay.
Lets see what we can discover here!!
