On January 13, 2008 we headed down to San Diego to board the USS Midway for a little extra credit for one of Shelby's classes. It was a beautiful sunny day to be with our family and a chance to admire and revere one of the ships used in World War II. Being on the ship gave us great respect for the all military personnel from our past and present. Josh got a chance to be up close and personal with some of his favorite jets while Conner was in awe of the old radar systems- which he learned about from one of the actual original Captains of the ship. Josh's Grandpa Dewey (stationed on a ship during WWII) would have been so proud to see us on one of his country's vessels.
