Day 5 San Diego USS Midway

We left Anaheim at 9.45am and dropped MJ to the airport for her flight back to Michigan where she lives with her husband Paul and daughter Eden. It was so lovely of her to visit us. We then drove for two hours to SAN Diego.

We lunched at a Mexican restaurant where we had all sorts of fancy tacos, chicken, shrimp, beef fillet, then boarded the USS Midway, an aircraft carrier which is now a Museum. It was quite fascinating to learn about how planes take off (via steam and a catapult) and land (with a hook and wire) as well as learn that 4500 people live on an aircraft carrier with over 1300 meals being prepared each day.

Phoebe, Harry, Jack and Lily all went on the flight simulators- the safest to fly with would be Jack as all the others seemed to want to loop the loop most of the time.

Back to our hotel for a rest night for some with others heading to the SAN Diego Bible class.

Tomorrow we head to the Zoo and at night the wedding rehearsal dinner.Read more
