Hey all

So yesterday was spent in San Diego - we arrived here around 10.30am and had a day to fill in.
We headed up to a lookout that looks over the city of SDO and the original landing place of the Spanish 'Cabrillo' dude they reckon discovered the West Coast of the USA - ( wouldnt I make a great history teacher ! )

It was SO PEACEFUL up here.









After this we headed to The Corvette Diner for lunch - a STUPIDLY oversized lunch was only half eaten.
The Diner itself was pretty nicely done in my opinion
They had these oval screens near your tables that played all the old clips - they sang for the crowd and served typical diner food.







They even had a couple of cleverly chosen pins !



That were in typical 'sited' condition !





Then in the afternoon we went onboard the USS Midway - docked in SDO Harbour








And of course last night was spent in a comp with the SDO Pinball Club - a pretty cool bunch of guys and girls
It was $5.00 to enter the comp and it was a 2 game knockout ( as in you lost twice and you were out for that night )
You played head to head with another player - with the winner continuing on to claim all the $$ as prize money for the night.
Machine ( WOZ ) breakdowns aside, it was a very fun night with a batch of strangers.



Today we headed for Las Vegas and tomorrow we attend PHOF.
On the way to Vegas we stopped at Peggy Sues Diner and got a little more than we had hoped for - I am sure our bike fans will appreciate what you see next.





This was a VERY VERY popular Diner on the 'Interstate' ( freeway ) and there was a 'bike run' to a nearby city today
The Diner has around 6 rooms to sit and eat - all decorated differently - here are a few shots - I TRY to get photos WITHOUT people in them - so these places may appear empty but were not.









Then when we headed back to the car - we spotted this beast !







DW Drums rule !
