James' birthday at USS Midway Museum

I don't know how it happened.  My wife and I are liberal.  We got a conservative son.  He likes money, he like weapons, and he likes soldiers.

We looked for some military museum for his birthday and settled upon the USS Midway Museum. It's a decommissioned aircraft carrier that was converted to a museum in about 2004.


We stopped along the way in Riverside for citrus.  We got 25 lbs of navel oranges, 15 lbs of sweet tangerines (about 10 of which for neighbors) and peanut candies.

The Museum did not disappoint. We had very nice retired vets at the Museum to show us around and answer questions. You can disagree with the politicians (which I do), but there's no questioning the sincerity of those who serve.

You can tell he liked it because he spent just a minimum amount of time in teh gift shop. he usually gets stuck in there.  And when it was time to go, he complained.
