USS MIDWAY


We took a road trip to San Diego to visit the retired air craft carrier USS Midway. It was incredible! We got to tour the entire ship and our kids loved it. We saw where the men and women of the navy slept, ate, and worked. Our kids quickly discovered that you don't want to be the lowest man on the totem pole in the Navy. You get the worst sleeping quarters, with about 5 bunks in one room( really you can't even call it a room) and you get a small locker. It was truly humbling, even our kids could not believe the living conditions of most of the men. It was a great reminder to all of us the great sacrifice that is made by those serving our country. All I can say is the Power Family was reminded of the sacrifice that is made by so many who serve our country and we are truly grateful!!!
