96' California Vacation

May 5th


Busy day of stops. First down to San Diego and a visit to the Science Museum. I'd pass on this if I were you. I did not find it spectacularly interesting. I found the small display of the Star Trek stuff to be one of the most interesting:

Afterward I went to the nearby Aerospace Museum. This one is a winner if you are interested in Airplanes or Aerospace related items. They have many mockups, reproductions and full size actual items and aircraft. Did you know that the Spirit of St. Louis (Lindberg's airplane that was the first to be flown Non-Stop across the Atlantic) was made in San Diego. Here is one of the Full Size Aircraft displayed a PBY amphibious aircraft circa WWII:

Then it was off to visit with Shamu the Whale at Sea World in San Diego. They have many wildlife displays that are both funny and educational at the same time. In addition to the shows they also have may static displays around the park:

After Sea World I drove up the Coastline and found a nice beach. I took a relaxing walk and watched a beautiful sunset over the ocean.
