All Aboard - Part 2 - Land Adventures

Our first stop on the cruise was in San Francisco.  We were there for 2 days.  The first day, we went to the Aquarium, and the wax museum.  In all honesty, the aquarium for being in San Francisco, was pathetic.  It was small, and didn't really have much.  I guess maybe my expectation were too high.

The wax museum was interesting and impressive.  They had tons of sculptures that looked very lifelike.

The second day, we just walked around the downtown city.  We saw the sea lions on the pier, and walked to Ghirardelli square.  When we got there, we were a little disappointed that they didn't do tours anymore, but we still had a great time.

Our second stop was San Diego.  My sister Becky had recently moved down there, and we thought it would be more fun to spend the day with them, rather than do the ship excursions.  We got to see their house, see where Marcus works, and the Amtracks (sp) he works with.  The Amtracks are like floating tanks, and they were very cool.  Then we went to the beach on the base, and had a great time.


Our last stop was Ensenada, Mexico.  Our ship was parked next to the a bunch of sea lions, and we enjoyed watching them.  We also walked around the little town.  We didn't find too much interesting, so it was a short walk.  Besides, the ship in reality was way more fun.
We particularly liked item 7 and that mittens were forbidden, I didn't know there was a rule against keeping your hands warm.
