The ride down was good but a bit cooler than we had thought it would be. We stopped at the Harley store in the suburbs of San Diego, the girls in the store all went GAGA over Anne's helmet with the ears. They had a band playing and free food.
After checking in to the hotel, we went to the Midway; this was an absolutely amazing piece of engineering. The scale of an aircraft carrier has to be seen to be believed. We toured the hangar deck and the flight deck, Of course I had to go to the engine room, there is a picture of the throttle board from which the ships direction and speed were controlled. Mightily impressive, the lady giving the description of how it all worked had sailed on the Midway in an engineering capacity and was very knowledgeable.
