Up and at 'em.
We were off to USS Midway Museum. It is an aircraft carrier commissioned in 1945 and has been restored and moored in San Diego Harbour.
Quite an impressive museum. We walked the whole ship with the headsets going giving explanations etc. Quite a few aircraft parked on the flight deck as well, all in pretty good condition but none in flying nick. We were there for nearly 2 hours and it was great.
We had a photo taken as we boarded and collected it as we left. The false backgrounds were added later. We also had to buy me a hat as I had left my hat in the hotel. We decided to buy a Tshirt/cap package - great except that when we got home the Tshirt was an XL but it must be a child's size - all very strange.
We then walked along the waters edge (all built up) with plenty of shops and food emporiums. We eventually had some lunch there and went home to crash for an hour or so.
We then drove to San Diego Airport to pick up ben at 3.15. His flight was delayed for 20 minutes or so, so Fay was dropped off at the doors and I did some circuits while he collected his bags. We came back to the room and we hung around for 45 minutes or so.
Off to the baseball - San Diego Padres versus Florida Marlins. A quick ten minute drive to the ballpark and an hours drive around in bumper to bumper traffic looking for parking - we gave up and went back to the waters' edge to grab some tea.
Ben was pretty tired and we weren't far behind him.
And so another day of adventure draws to a close.
