So many activities to do. Only five days to go.
A visit to San Diego filled our first day as tourists.
After a satisfying breakfast of oatmeal and hard boiled eggs at the Peacock Suites breakfast buffet, we set out to see the U.S. aircraft carrier Midway in San Diego Harbor. We took a wrong turn and ended up at the San Diego Maritime Museum, a wonderful collection of old ships. We talked with a museum crew scraping the algea from the waterline of a Russian submarine. Since it was Family Day at the museum, we got a free ride around the harbor on the Pilot. I caught pictures of the San Diego skyline, two playful dolphins, and even a couple seagulls racing us back to shore.
We lunched on king crab and shrimp at San Diego’s Original Seafood Restaurant. The building hung out over the water and while we dined, a sailboat came within a few feet of our place at the window.
We walked along the waterfront to the Midway and spent the next two hours exploring the carrier. My favorite part was the tour of the ship's bridge, which took us high above the flight deck. I sat in the captain’s chair and enjoyed a great view of the harbor.
A hankering for the front row at the Super Bowl set in, and we headed back to the Peacock Suites for a spot on the couch and left-over Chinese.
Go Bears!
