USS Midway
This stop was very meaningful for our group. One of our tour members had a grandfather serve on the Midway. This was more of a historical stop for the group but they enjoyed it none the less. It's nice to see the group enjoy a variety of activities. We pulled into San Diego on a Disney Land high and left on a more traditional, historic note. Thanks to Nicholas' grandfather we even got some passess for free. We appretiate his efforts for our group and our country.
Two very popular statues that surround the Midway!

"The Midway was really interesting! To think that my grandfather spent a
year touring the world on it was an awe inspiring expereince. He was
taking it to Washington so that the deck could be angled. Walking around
this massive ship, 200,000 tons worth and carried a small towns amount of
people, it was interesting think that it could have been built and
manouvered by humans. My grandfatehr served on it as a radio control
officer. He told planes what to do and kept in radio and radar contact with
them. He kept a day journal while he was on the midway and it was
facisnating to read. It was cool to read what his daily life at sea was
like. I felt blessed to have the opportunity to walk on the carrier that
my grandfather served on as well as the longest serving ship in the
navy. " Nicholas Horsley
