This morning we set out a little bit earlier than usual to meet up with our guide for a speed boat tour around the bay. Each couple hopped into their own speed boat and made our way slowly to the open water. Once our guide got everyone off the dock, he came ahead of us and led the way to some different sights.
After a long run across the bay, we circled around this dock full of sea life! Apparently this is where the fisherman come to get their bait, and the bait draws in the seals.
Next, we were led over to the downtown area of San Diego where we looked at the various buildings, the Midway, and some tall ships!
We boated right up next to the Midway and learned a little bit more about its history and the role it played in the war.
Seeing these tall ships up close reminded me of our time in Halifax when Camilla and Hyrum were small.
I was happy to let Mr. Stannix drive the entire time as I clutched onto my seat cushions and told him to slow down constantly. I hate hitting big wakes, and I'm usually terrified of flipping. Ha!
All in all, it was a gorgeous and informative morning! When we were finished, we all slowly came back to the dock to tie our boats. We then headed over to the USS Midway Museum for a few hours. We saw all of the cool planes and fighter jets, learned how they take off and land from the boat, and got a tour of "the island" on the ship where everything happens.
We finished our afternoon with a late lunch/dinner on the pier across from our hotel where we enjoyed the sunshine and the company.
