Long Beach, California!

One of my many "things" for this trip was to be in the Pacific Ocean.  Well, we made to Long Beach Cali just in time for the 4th of July.  We stayed at the Golden Shores RV park and had a chance to see fireworks that were set off next to the Queen Mary, a ship that everyone here talks about.  Jen's big "thing" was to see Endeavor, the space shuttle that was retired.  She was there to see it roll out for the last time and go off to do its mission.  It is my second space shuttle that I have seen.
We took the metro from long beach to LA where the California Science Center is.  The ride took about an hour and we learned and saw a lot!!!! The kids were a little bit shocked by what they saw and heard but for the most part everyone seemed very friendly cuz we definitely didn't look like tourists; 8 of us with all matching 4th of July shirts, nope we blended right in.  Not sure why people asked us where we were from and what our plans were. It was very nice in Long Beach , the beach we went to was warm and there was some trash hanging around but it was lovely to be in the Pacific.  And the moisture in the air and the trees, enough can't be said about trees and moist cooler air! Next we are off to Nevada to check out the Hoover Dam and pick up Andy for a Couple of weeks!

Huge shipping container unloading area here.
