Ayden has been asking for a couple of months to see a real aircraft carrier. He has a huge toy one that he plays with all the time, so Ken looked online and found the USS Hornet. It is a decomissioned aircraft carrier in Alameda, CA that has been turned into a museum. Since it's only about 2 hours away, we decided to go and also visit the nearby Chabot Science & Space Center. We were joined by Grandpa & Grandma Jill, had a great day and could not have had better Bay Area weather!!!
Ayden was pretty excited the whole time. He listened to the directions very carefully and kept reminding my dad not to touch things. He was very interested in the planes that were in the hangar.

After a break for lunch, we headed to the science center. Our entrance included a planetarium show and an IMAX show, which were both pretty cool. We ran out of time to see the whole place before they closed, we will definitely have to go back another time to see the rest. Ayden enjoyed the space artifacts and replicas!
