Saturday Adventures! jan 9th

Our adventure took us to San Pedro this morning to check out where we will start our cruise from. If you look closely at the photo above you can see the Sapphire Princess docked where our ship will be in 3 weeks!!!! That's the Vincent Thomas bridge behind it!!!
After checking out the cruise ship we went to Gaffey Street Diner. It was on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives!! It was delicious!!! Eddie got the ham and cheese omelette and I got the Country breakfast with biscuits and gravy!!! Mmm Good!
Then we just drove down Gaffey Street as far as we could. We drove right to...The Korean Friendship Bell. It was pretty cool!
This carving is on the bottom of each side of the stairs. Looks like H.R. Puffnstuff to me!
This is the ceiling!
The actual bell.
We saw Catalina!
Then we drove to....
We remembered taking Mom there a few years ago!
Made me want fish sticks!!!
Then we went across the Vincent Thomas bridge to Long Beach!!
Seahorse fountain!
Where the Spruce Goose used to live. Eddie says it went to Portland. Who knew?!
The Queen Mary. We were there on the hour, so we got to hear her horn blow!
The day ended at a baptism. Mario and Tania. Eddie baptized Tania.
And now Eddie is spending the night with the homeless. This morning they found one of the homeless guys dead!!! Hopefully, they won't have that kind of excitement tonight!

Wow it sounds like you had a pretty well-rounded trip, that's too bad about the homeless guy, but he's probably happier where he is now:)

Looking forward to seeing pictures of your trip
