Well, I just got back home from my week long vacation in San Diego, California. The Governator Ah-nuld’s state. The flights to California and back home were both good.

I went with my mother to go visit my brother, his girlfriend and some other friends that lived in San Diego. We all did pretty much everything I said I was planning on doing for fun. We did go to Balboa Park to see the Air and Space musuem, and yes, the Star Trek Exhibition was there at the Air and Space Musuem as it described on the website. Yes, we did do shopping, go to the beaches, had a few drinks at a bar, ate at a few unique restaurants and of course, we did go to the San Diego Zoo.

The Star Trek Exhibition at the Air & Space Musuem in Balboa Park was wicked cool, I friggin’ loved it!!! Everything in the Star Trek musuem was nothing about Star Trek, all the TV shows and each film, it made you feel like you were part of the Star Trek experience and it was amazing to see all that in person in front of your face. You get to look at various Star Trek uniforms from each TV series and movies. You get to stand in the transporter room and visit the Enterprise bridge from the original TV series and man, lemme tell ya, the bridge looks almost exactly like the one you saw in the original TV series. When we arrived to the Next Generation stuff, we walked through the hallway almost exactly like it was in the Next Generation TV series, of course, they showed more uniforms and they had a statue head of Captain Picard as the Borg, it was the episodes where the Borg kidnapped Picard and turned him into the Borg himself. There were also model spaceships and model weapons and equipment used in the Star Trek franchise.

It’s funny, because every person who worked as an employee at the Star Trek Exhibition is a die hard fan, they know everything about Trek. I was talking to this one guy that worked there and we were talking about the upcoming Star Trek XI film, and he says he’s very excited about it. We got into interesting Star Trek conversations.

After the Star Trek musuem, we looked around the rest of the Air & Space musuem, which I loved also, it was interesting seeing the model airplanes and spaceships all over the place.

I did get a little drunk during vacation, we all went to my brother’s friends house party get together they were having, so we partied on the beach for a while and hung out at the house there, I had about 5 or 6 drinks, I didn’t drink a lot to get myself puking or passing out, I didn’t go that far. We were partying in an apartment building full of San Diego natives, mostly people who lived there their whole lives. Very nice peeps too. I was impressed that San Diego people didn’t care about the loud partying noise. Hey, it’s San Diego, whatever happens in San Diego, ahem, stays in San Diego

I did some swimming in the beaches and got sun burnt all over. Still am sun burnt. Did a lot of walking in the sun and spent a lot of time outdoors.

We went to this cool hiking trail by the beaches called Torrey Pines where you get to walk through high cliffs and see oceans and city views. That was interesting to see. It was a long hike, about a 3 or 4 hour hike or more. But fun and interesting though. I got Torrey Pines pics coming soon.

We also went to visit a beach where you get to see animals called seals. There wasn’t many out there but I took a few pics of one seal. I’ll have it up soon.

And about the San Diego Zoo, I would think that was the best thing I went to San Diego for. The San Diego Zoo was absolutely amazing. No wonder they call it the World’s Most Famous Zoo, they don’t call it that for nothing and you must see for yourself to know what I mean. We went to the San Diego Zoo yesterday, went with my mother, brother and sister, a family kind of thing. There were all kinds of animals all over the world, all kinds of birds, bears, giraffes, camels, gorillas, monkeys, tigers, reptiles, etc.

My favorite of the entire Zoo was seeing the “Polar Bear Plunge”, it’s where this huge Polar bear hangs out at, a real live one. You get to see the Polar bear swim in this giant pool and it was amazing to see, I got a bunch of pics to show you coming soon of the Polar bear.

As for resaurants we ate at, we ate lunch at this cool Mexican restaurant called the “Ortega Cocina’s”, it’s a strictly Mexican restaurant with Mexican people working there, great food and great service. We also ate at a nice sea food resaurant in downtown city San Diego called “The Fishmarket”. A restaurant that’s directly next to an oceanside. Right next to the “Fishmarket” restaurant place, there is a real aircraft carrier, yes a real aircraft carrier with planes and helicopters on the thing, it was friggin’ huge. It was unreal to see that thing. Pictures of that coming soon too.

The only thing we didn’t do in San Diego is go in the actual city part where the tall buildings are, but there’s always next time. San Diego is huge. So much things to do, you’re never bored there. It is always warm and hot there all year round nonstop with hardily any rain or nothing. It feels like summer all the time there. California was interesting. I never visited the other side of the states before and I loved it, makes me want to go there more often.

As far as Entertainment news for the blog goes, I will get back to posting that stuff up soon as I have browsed the internet for a little tiny bit to read the news that’s it, I never logged into my blog once during vacation, my brother’s house did have a computer there, just read the news while there to see what I was missing and I am seeing I am not missing much.

But there is one thing in the movie news that caught my eye that I will post next, Warner Bros. gave “Superman” the reboot a greenlight, and I’m like, huh? I will post my honest thoughts on that next blog post.

And yes, I did take a bunch of pics in San Diego, I’ll start posting up the San Diego pics tomorrow ’cause I don’t feel like messin’ around with it tonight. I just got back from an all night flight back home from across the states, I didn’t get no sleep over night. I’ll probably stay awake all day today but I will probably go to bed early tonight.

The vacation was a blast, I’m glad I went out and finally visited the other side of the states which is something I’ve always wanted to do my whole life. Pictures of the vacation coming soon, be on the lookout.
