Some great places

2009 the first quarter has also had me visiting some great new places and doing new things.  Here are a few that I will share with you today.

The boardwalk!  We drove up north and across the bay.  You can just walk around and see stuff or hang out on the beach.  There are a ton of shops you can go into and a bunch of restaurants.  You may also notice the rides in the background.  That is right.  You can buy tickets and ride them.  We did.  It was tons of fun!  Really first rate!  That one long roller coaster there is the oldest one in California!

Ok so you may have seen the ocean but I just can't get enough of it!  This was a random saturday I just felt the urge to have a little picnic on the beach.  The sun was shining and it was a nice warm day.  I think this was the last day in January for anyone who had snow on that day =D and wanted to just compare.  I stopped at subway and then went out to this beach that is fairly secluded due to the fact you have to hike up and over a massive sand dune to get to it if you don't want to walk down the coast (or drive as you can see someone had done)

Travis Air Force Base!  This is up near San Francisco.  I had the special opportunity to get out of class for a day and take a trip up there with a bunch of folks and get to see the little museum and some old planes.  We even got to go into a couple and climb around in them.  What a real treat.  It really was something special to get out and see what it is really like out there when you don't just sit in a class all day.  There is a point to it all.

I love the Ocean, could never get enough of it. I'm going to buy a Caribbean Island some day so that I can enjoy the Ocean every day. You can come and visit if you want.
