A good vacation in the San Diego area needs to include a visit to the Midway Aircraft Carrier. This floating city has something for everyone. http://www.midway.org/

USS Midway Museum
32.714384 ; -117.173105

Docked in San Diego Bay in downtown San Diego, this carrier has a great and extensive history. For a child, or the child in all of us, there is climbing in some of the aircrafts, rides to feel what it is like to fly in a jet, or a chance to have a photo taken in the brig (jail).

With over 225,000 having served on the Midway during its active duty, it is said that 10% of the visitors on a daily basis served on the Midway. Docents say that many visit the carrier to see the places that were off limits during their commission on the Midway. A visit to the Midway gives a person a chance to see all aspects of this floating city.

While listening to your own private audio guide, this self-guided tour takes the guest to the enlisted and officer quarters and puts you in the room where Dessert Storm was initiated in the Middle East.

Cost is $18.00 for adults and $10.00 for children 5-12. By going on-line to you can use a coupon for children to get in free, a great value. http://www.sandiegan.com/coupon/Coupon-Midway.php

Go aboard the Midway Aircraft Carrier and experience a “Family Adventure at Sea Without Leaving Port” (from Midway brochure)
