Saw the cruise ship the Elation docked nearby
Touring the USS Midway (one of five decomissioned aircraft carriers on public display in the country). Cost $15 buck and you get a free audio tour setup. It was kinda of funny, when the tour started; I overheard a kid telling his parents that (the inside of the carrier) reminded her of "Battlestar Galactica" ... the producers of BSG would be proud 'cause that was exactly their intent!

An active duty destroyer goes out to sea (noticed in the back of the warship the two smaller boats; the navy patrol boat farthest away was flashing it's blue lights and cutting off and warning the smaller sport boat in the foreground as the sport boat was approaching too closely to the destroyer).
Boats anchored near Seaport Village
Resting at SD Seaport Village
