MLK 2011

Seeing that I have Monday 17 January off for Martin Luther King Jr day, we figured to make a day of it and head down to San Diego.  We first visited the USS Midway, which is an aircraft carrier for the Navy but has now been turned into a museum where you can take tours.  They have many restored airplanes and helicopters on the deck and it was cool to walk through the ship and see what it would be like to live on one.

We then drove out to Ocean Beach and had yummy fish tacos at a Mexican restaurant.

We headed out Point Loma to the end where we got free entrance into the Cabrillo National Monument because it was MLK Day.  We could see downtown San Diego on one side and the Pacific Island on the other side of the point.

On the way back we stopped at the Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery where many Navy persons are buried.

We then drove back around the bay and up and over the bridge to Coronado Island.  We walked along the beach to the Hotel del Coronado where we walked along the grounds and through the lobby.   It was a wonderful day and I am grateful to MLK for the national holiday.
