Pictures from San Diego

This is on the Deck of the USS Midway. The deck is 4 acres if you can picture it!



The stairwells are not very big. Glenn had to duck a lot of the time just to keep from hitting his head on the top. They said the number one injury for the crew was head lacerations. Everything was so low and then being on the ship that was pitching and rolling, proved to be quite the dangerous place to be.





This was the hospital on board, but you can imagine that most of the enlisted men's bunks were just like this also except they were stationary and not on chains. There was an OR, ICU and exam rooms.
The officers had their own dining area, some even had their own private restroom and bedroom but only for officers!

This was where the Boss and the Mini Boss sat. They were like the air traffic controllers. They had a big job making sure where the planes were and who needed to land and take off. This was at the top of the tower in the background of the first picture.

This is a picture of the beach and the Pacific ocean on Coronado Island. It was pretty deserted with the temp at 57 degrees.

This was in Seaport Village a shopping area. We thought the boys would like to see a pirate!
