Yesterday my boyfriend and I got to ride the Goodyear Blimp. Apparently they only fly passengers 30 days out of the year and the rest is just goodwill rides for people who buy a lot of Goodyear products. It was awesome.
Blimp!
Blimp landing!
Blimp docking procedure (Fat guys hold it down while you go up the stairs).
The Queen Mary in Long Beach.
The Sea Launch ship that they drive to the equator and launch satellites into space with. The procedure is pretty cool - two ships go out, they set the one with the launching pad up to launch, and then they all evacuate to the other ship and drive until they are about 3 miles away and then they launch the thing.
Big blimp again!

I've been to the Queen Mary a couple of times. The brunch there is expensive and not so great and the whole ship has plastic hand rails and plastic details and accessories because plastic was a very expensive material at the time. Now it just looks cheap.
