The second day of our San Diego trip was a little bit "manly". We had a tour at USS Midway Museum, which is just about 10 minutes walk from our hotel. USS Midway was an aircraft carrier of the United States Navy. It is the only remaining US aircraft carrier of the world war 2 era. It was launched in 1945. You would be impressed how it was built back then when those advance technologies were still did not exist. Lets go for a photo tour..., we were really enjoyed the tour and forgot to take most of the facilities that built in the ship, it was just like a small town, could load up to 4500 soldiers.

Allie, unfortunately we forgot to take the picture inside the ship, will definately do it when we go back in summer. San Diego is really worth to visit, dont miss it if you got a chance to visit USA. I like it better than LA. :-)
I like all the hardware there. A boys dream!
