Vacation 2015 San Diego Day 9 Long Beach California

Today we visited Long Beach California to see the Queen Mary and the USS Iowa.  Note:  Do Not take Highway 1 to get there from San Diego!

The Queen Mary was amazing but the Queen Suite had been removed for a reception area.  Ashton hated the ghost tour and was the highlight for all the people on our tour.  He was very vocal when we took the chicken exit.





The USS Iowa was our favorite!
Ashton loved the big guns!






We also learned that Franklin D. Roosevelt stayed on the ship while en route to negotiate the end of WWII.  They had a bathtub installed in the Captain's Quarters so he could soak his legs.
