Day 3 in San Diego

We are enjoying taking it easy and having slow get up and go days. We headed out to see the USS Midway and spent nearly 4 hours on the ship taking the self-guided headset tour. It was really amazing to see what the crew lived like the tiny quarters/bunk they have and the work they do on such ships. This ship was in service for approx. 50 years. It had several renovations and upgrades during it's service.

That's the USS Ronald Reagan over Bob's shoulder. It's a working Nuclear Aircraft Carrier. After the tour of this retired vessel we wanted a tour of the real thing. But it's not open to tours. Bummer!

Then we headed over to Coronado. We mainly walked the beach and ate. We were too tired to do anything else!
