The kids were so excited even though they had no idea what the USS Midway Museum was. The USS Midway was one of the longest serving aircraft carriers. It was full of exhibits, restored aircraft, and had an audio self guided tour. We had so much fun. 
The view was amazing. We were going down city streets when all of a sudden we turned a corner and our view became the ocean. The aircraft carrier was huge. Curtis was in heaven.
We got there a half hour before the museum opened so we had plenty of time to take some pictures and run around with the boys.
Once inside we got the headphones and started on the tour.
The bottom right pictures shows was Cayden is standing on in the bottom left pictures. It was an area over a five story drop. The other two boys would not go anywhere near it.
There was not a lot of space when we were walking around inside the carrier. We walked through their living quarters and up to the captain's quarters.
While we were touring the USS Midway we looked over and saw another aircraft carrier coming in. You can see the sailers lined up along the sides of the carrier. They were just arriving home after being deployed. On the other side of the marina we could see groups of people waiting for them to come home. It was a pretty neat sight.
And as we drove away the kids begged me to take a picture of these "pirate ships." It was an absolutely perfect morning for a tour of the USS Midway Museum and we left we happy and tired kids.
