What can be more exciting than a family reunion in May. That's why we went to San Diego to visit an ancient relative and his friends at the famous zoo.
The USS Midway cannot be overlooked and is one of the main attractions of San Diego. The floating museum is located a stone throw away from downtown. The aircraft carrier was born in 1945 and commissioned a week after the end of WWII. Designed as the lead ship of her class, not everything was perfect.
We were lucky and stayed at the Marriott instead of sharing a bunk on the carrier like so many navy members during the 47 years of service.
