Midway Aircraft Carrier !

What a nice day!  Sunny with not a cloud in the sky and 78 Degrees !

I put lots of pictures on here because I thought people might want to see the inside of an aircraft carrier.  I haven't seen or been in one my 56 years of my life.  This ship was in service until 1995 I do believe.  It was in Dessert Storm and one of the first aircraft carriers that deployed their aircraft.

                                                                 Just me !

We decided to take a 35 mile trip to San Diego to check out the Midway Aircraft Carrier and stroll around downtown. Andy didn't really want to check out the boat, so I did alone, while she walked around the bay.  I spent about 2 .5 hours on the ship.  Boy is it big !!

                                    Mine was bigger but I still had to drive...Not Fair !

                                                         Slurp Slurp Slurp !

We decided after the boat tour to stop and have a drink...very yummy!
