Well, look who joined the vacation finally...
After finishing off a day of work on Thursday while Julie and the kids celebrated our friend's son Adam's birthday at the movies and pool, I have finally joined the rest of the family on vacation. Our first stop was the USS Midway, a retired aircraft carrier parked in the San Diego Bay.
They have it set up as an audio tour with each of us getting a walkman that we could type codes into as we roamed around the boat. The kids raced around finding the next audio clip.
This was one of the briefing rooms. They had dvd's set up in rooms like this that gave extended history of the ship.
This is the Midway's brig. Connor and Court took the role of the Marines standing guard over the prisoned Mallory, Adam and Lily.
A big hit with the kids was getting to not only see the fighter jets, but getting a chance to climb inside them and mess around with the controls. We successfully got out without any errant missile attacks.
Even in Southern California, I was able to find another Celtic fan.
After making the rounds on the ship, We headed out that night with our gracious hosts, our friends the Afualo's. Damon and I were able to show what thousands of business travel miles will get you....mad chopstick skillz.
Saturday was a down day at Del Mar. Turns out when you head south, it's actually warm at the beach. The kids had fun playing in the sand and
in the surf.
