Alcatraz ~ Alcatraz Island (/ˈælkəˌtræz/) is a small island 1.25 miles (2.01 km) offshore from San Francisco, California, United States. The island was developed in the mid-19th century with facilities for a lighthouse, a military fortification, and a military prison. In 1934, the island was converted into a federal prison, Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary. The strong currents around the island and cold water temperatures made escape nearly impossible, and the prison became one of the most notorious in American history. In 1963 Bobby Kennedy ordered the prison closed, and the island is now a major tourist attraction. Some of its most notorious prisoners were ...

The only ones missing was the 2 boys, Kenneth and Tristan. (Psst, you should have been there, we had a BLAST!) The only one missing from the mob was Libby, Jennifer Cross's daughter. She's attending University and couldn't break free. First we bowled at the local alley (Pheasant Lanes) for a bit, then lunch/dinner at The Tasty Crab. A group of 19 at two in the afternoon!

A stone tells us that the Federation of Planets hero will be born there in 2228 (although some online sites claim his DOB is 2238). In the meantime, packs of Trek lovers and various nerds meet there at the annual Trek Fest in the Iowa countryside. On those days you can meet people dressed in space uniform alongside with the 1800-styled ...

WWI Tri-Plane Replica ~ I love dining at these restaurants. Their names vary, but all are based on WWI air squadrons and the like. This is the 94th Aerosquadron at the Montgomery Air Field near San Diego. The food is terrific, though it is a little pricey. Each is located near a small airport in a large city.
