Here was a silly one of Audrey with a statue. They had a grouping of statues nearby and Audrey got a kick out of them.

"Unconditional Surrender"
Last weekend Ethan took us downtown next to where the USS Midway museum is stationed to have a picnic dinner next to this HUGE statue named "Unconditional Surrender". It is a 26 ft tall recreation of the famous photo taken when news of WWII ended in Times Square and this ecstatic sailor grabbed some random nurse in the street and gave her a big smooch. No, they didn't know each other and they went their separate ways right after. The photo was on the cover of Life magazine in 1945. I guess this statue was in Florida for some time and now it's in San Diego but temporarily. Here is the original photo, then one of me and the kids in front.

That's SO much family fun! I never knew the story behind the photo, or that there was a mondo statue involved! (That nurse sure has some pretty big feet for a girl!) What a neat outing!
