Memories of Touring CV-41 USS Midway Aircraft Carrier Museum

It was March 2008 and it was my first time ever going to see the West coast. My first time seeing a mountain and my first time seeing the ocean... I was so excited. I had gotten the plane ticket out there for Spring Break as a Christmas gift from my then boyfriend. The first thing I saw as I arrived in San Diego was the sun beating on the tall Palm trees... it was like a dream come true. While I was there I saw many sights, including beaches, a botanical garden, historical landmarks, tide pools, the Air and Space Museum, and the USS Midway Aircraft Carrier Museum. That was by far my favorite, and reiterated the awe I feel when I think of aviation and the fact that I will be working with that for my job in the U.S. Navy.
