Battleships and Battalions: Our Day in San Diego

This past weekend Jillian, Kyle and the kidlets came down for some family time.

We were able to drive down to San Diego with them (and Becky&Quinn and Mom&Dad) too meet up with Jordan and Freesia and head over to the USS Midway Museum.

It was Kaleb's first big outing and I'm sure he appreciated having some company (aka uncle Quinn and aunty Becky) in the back seat with him for that long drive.

The USS Midway!

There were very cool jets like this all over the ship. Inside and out.

Kaleb and Mommy! (Mommy is listening to the Audio tour and Kaleb is rocking an awesome hat.)

This was one of the prepping rooms for the pilots. 

Kaleb was getting a little fussy (no strollers allowed in most of the ship) so Daddy made him a little cocoon.
Don't you love their matching hats?

This is the officer's living area. It may look cramped, but it is luxurious compared to the enlisted men's living area.

Kaleb and Grandpa Green! It was getting windy outside so we put Kaleb's sweater on him. I love it! It used to be Blake's when he was a baby. :D

 After that we made our way to Old Town San Diego...

Then we had dinner at this cool little place called "The Livingroom". Tasty food and calming ambiance.

After dinner we decided to check out the Mormon Battalion Historic Site. 

It was a lot more enjoyable then I expected. Not that I was expecting it to be boring, but I thought it was just a walk around kind of thing, but they had a cool little show and lots of "hands on" stuff.

We all got to pan for "gold" at the end of the night. 

I am so happy we were able to spend this time with family! We had lots of fun.
I guess the only thing missing was Vance and Melissa!
