I remember going to see the Queen Mary and the Spruce Goose as a kid in the 80s. You are right about SoCal having lots of fun things to do for a kid growing up, as I did in San Diego.

Leave it to the Major to come up with some truly great Americana slides.<br /><br />I would be at the Planetarian on a daily basis of the golf lady was there.

Back then dads didn't admit those things, LOL!<br /><br />The Planetarium is indeed a great place to visit and I just love this old sign!<br /><br />I have some 1980's shots from the Queen...would be fun to compare. It is a beautiful ship and when you walk down those old halls alone it's rather creepy. I took the ghost tour one night - cheesy but lots of fun.<br /><br />And Marineland! Oh, how I miss it!! Drove by theere about 6 months ago and yes, all traces of it are completely gone.
