I'm pretty sure that all the "tannics" sink.
Titanic.
Whatever this "tannic" is.
And that "tannic" and every "tannic".
Hello Bloggineers. We're in San Pedro and we are going to show you the fun things you can do here.
And our first stop is a Point Fermin Lighthouse .
Built in1874, this landmark was the first navigational light into the San Pedro Bay.
Today, we'll be going on a free guided tour.
The docent asked us what we think is the most important resource at the lighthouse and brother answered correctly.
[Docent] Yeah, give me five!
[Dad] What did he say?
[Docent] Water!
Water is stored in these cisterns, which can hold 10,000 gallons.
This doesn't look like a traditional lighthouse because it was done in Stick Style, early Victorian architectural design.
Now we're going inside the building.
Unfortunately photography is not allowed during this portion of the tour,
but we were allowed to film the view from the top of the lighthouse.
We had so much fun here.
Our next stop is the USS Iowa.
This is the West Coast's only battleship.
It hosted three US presidents during her service as a symbol of democracy.
It features six decks of wood and steel and numerous exhibits.
We're going to check out the Lost at Sea exhibit.
This exhibition showcases the explorations of Dr. Robert Ballard, known over the world for his discovery of the RMS Titanic.
I'm pretty sure that all the "tannics" sink.
Titanic.
Whatever this "tannic" is.
And that "tannic" and every "tannic".
The RMS Lusitania was sunk by the Germans during World War I.
There are many cool model ships here.
Now we're learning about War in the Pacific.
Brother's playing with an interactive display.
This section is on PT-109, the would-be-President John F. Kennedy's boat.
There's even the GI Joe action figure made of him.
There are also many other wrecks that you can explore here.
Now we're going to go on a scavenger hunt around the ship.
[Docent] The dog's name is Vicky.
And we have to mark down where we spot him.
In 1943, Vicky was brought aboard by Captain McCrea to help keep morale of the crew up.
Vicky became an apprentice mascot and was outfitted in a special sailor suit.
All the necessary sailors paperwork was also completed.
After we found out the Vickys, we turned in our activity sheet and received a sticker and a dog tag.
We had so much fun at the USS, Iowa.
Now we are eating dinner at the San Pedro Fish Market.
This is a family owned and operated restaurant that started selling fresh seafood to the locals in the port town fishing community since 1957.
They are known for their World Famous Shrimp Tray and that's what we're gonna try today.
We start out by picking our own seafood from their fresh case and everything is priced per pound.
I'll take some scallops, please.
Next we're bringing our choice to the kitchen to get them cooked.
Then we're waiting for them to page us while we're waiting at the seaside deck, which can seat two thousand people.
[Brother] It's buzzing!
Let's go pick up our food.
That's our shrimp tray,
some fried calamari,
and fish and chips.
We're having the shrimp tray which has shrimp, scallops, vegetables, and garlic bread.
This is so much food.
My favorite part of the meal was the scallops and the garlic bread.
I like the scallop because it was really, really juicy.
And I like the garlic red because, well, I like garlic bread.
[Brother] Now I'm having fish and chips.
Brother is trying some calamari, too.
The atmosphere, feels like you are in Mexico.
And there is like, the music band playing.
And another...
After the delicious meal, we enjoy the view of the harbor and witness a feeding frenzy.
We have so much fun in San Pedro.
