Went to the Star Trek Exhibition at the San Diego Aerospace museum. It was a fun day. Dad went with me and the rest of the family went to the Zoo, which was next door. Anna is very taken with the Elephants, and Elizabeth loves the Big cats.
I have to say that while the Star Trek Exhibit was fun, I was kind of expecting more. It seemed like it was over quickly for how much we (dad) shelled out for tickets.
I think the most fun was the section on the 'next generation' tv show. They had a section of corridor where you couldn't see anything but Star Trek. You could imagine for just a moment that you were there. Except everything seemed a little small... the ceiling felt low and the doors felt small. I hate to nit-pick, 'cause I did enjoy myself. But I kept thinking wouldn't it be better if...
After the Trek tour we got to wander through the Aerospace museum. They had aircraft and memorabilia from the Wright brothers through today. I especially liked the Zeppelins. I just love the idea of these huge floating airships. I guess they're kind of reminiscent of the flying ships from my stories, or the flying castles, etc.
Late this evening Mom and Dad watched the kids while Angelina and I went out. We had dinner at a nice restaurant called the Elephant Bar. Anna would have loved it for the elephants alone. Afterwords we did out usual thing when we're having a night on the town and went to a bookstore. I don't know if it's 'cause we're nerds, or boring or just unimaginative. As you might expect we bought books, and laughed and had a good time together.
Tomorrow: Disney Land.
