Today was one of those days where we were busy but did not really do anything in particular. We went to dimsum with some relatives and then drove around doing a few errands. When we finally came back, we decided to watch a few movies on Netflix Instant Watch that are about to expire in January, Wargames 2 and Art of War 2. Both were quite subpar, but it's not as if  we had anything else of importance to do.

On a side note, our trip up the coast is back on. We're leaving around noon, making a pit stop in Santa Maria for BBQ, and then home sweet home. At last ....

Our Christmas trip is coming to an end, as later today we'll be flying back to home sweet home.

Today we went to the Military Museum, which was pretty cool, although it's a bit sad that the memorabilia, some of it dating back to WWI, hasn't been kept in better condition. Even a regular coat of paint would do wonders for some of the equipment that's on display, but all the tanks, howitzers and even a Huey helicopter were a sight to behold.

To kill some extra time, we watched some Bill Engvall stand-up specials and Pineapple Express.

Our little trip is coming to an end. Some family drama is preventing us from taking our little drive up the coast, so instead we are flying back. So much for our much anticipated pit stop for a BBQ feast. On the upside, I guess we'll be home sooner ....

We went and saw Sherlock Holmes yesterday, and I must admit that it was quite enjoyable. The theater was packed, and the movie was equally as action-packed as it was funny. During our Thanksgiving trip, we passed by an outdoor military museum filled with old tanks, artillery and planes, so we are going to check that out in a bit. Should be fun.
