Originally was supposed to check out the flower garden in China town, but plans quickly changed once we saw how busy it was around the area. Japan town was almost just as busy once we visited there. Especially when we're waiting over an hour on a Pokémon vending machine. The crepes were amazing. The Tonga room was very cool (but expensive), and the Emporium arcade bar had plenty to do until the...

Thank's!! Haven't been there in year's. Crowded the day I went, stroller's everywhere, lol & food expensive. But a good place to visit. Thank's for showing, I didn't get to see all of it.👍 Good video!
That looks like a nice museum. I have never been to this one. Thank you for taking us along.
Very cool. I need to go back there.
Thanks for the video! Was just thinking about going there later this month. Did you get your tickets online or were you able to purchase them at the door?
I love this place.
It's definitely on my top places to visit in the Bay.
This was awesome! That earthquake simulator would be an experience for sure! I remember the 1994 earthquake in California. I was about 5 years old but remember it and was terrifying lol. I havent been to San Francisco in years but might have to check this out next time i go! Thanks for another great vlog Eldon! Im enjoying your vlogs!
Yeah! This place is awesome. I definitely recommend it if you're ever in the area. Thanks for joining me on another excursion!
Eldon. Love your videos. You visit some cool pieces. Keep it up. You no im retired and always free to join you. 😂😂. Kidding.
@@ernieortiz2921 🤣🤣🤣 join me in the cruise!
Never knew about this museum. Thanks. I’m planning on going there.
@@ernieortiz2921 You're welcome. You're going to love it.
That was a great museum! I loved the cars and that aquarium part. That Price is Right story is crazy! I'm excited to see your vlogs from Epic Universe brother! Another Great vlog!
@hectorslifeadventures Thanks man! I'm super excited. June can't come fast enough lol it's going to be a fun trip!
*YOUR. AN. ABSOLUTE. DOLL. *!!!!! *THANK. __ YOU. *!!!!!!
Hahah aww, thanks! 😁 glad to have you with me.
Are you planning to going back to the Alameda County fair to go on that haunted house for the 2025 season?
@@ColeTriesNewThings Absolutely!
That's a cool museum Thank you for sharing
@@VictoriaStone-y2t No problem!
I was at burger haven yesterday and there was 4 customers that was going to that Blackhawk museum
@skyrobinson7548 no way! That's funny.
I want to get baked and check out the World Of Animals.
@@NomadHomad 🤣🤣🤣
Thank's for the video! I was going to a car museum last week but they were closed. That was a very good one, had a lot to show. Looking forward to your upcoming vacation's. ❤ price is right, watch all the time & yes you were right, heard they pick out the ppl before the show starts 🤗
@PatHayz Thanks Pat! Glad I shared this with you. The price is right would have been fun to be on.
I love this channel! Its always cool to see these different places in NorCal.
@literallylotro Thanks man! I'm glad to share these places with you.
30 min till closing time??!!! Might as well just went another day to spend more time for the same price.
@kevindelane2385 haha yeah, super last min. I just wanted to go do something.
Hi there

Thank You ❗️ I enjoyed riding with you from Florida
Thanks for joining me! You're welcome anytime.
What do you expect from chipotle
@DANstinations 🤣🤣 and taco bell is across the street from them! I'm doomed with gas lol
@@Eldons_Excursions 🤣
Cool spot man! All these places I never seen, wish I did. I once lived near Brentwood on Bethel Island. I should have gone out more. You inspire me Eldon. Im gonna start hiking more and cruising more and traveling more. I'm in Florida for a week right now in fact, getting my traveling in. I too wanna try to look more fit for myself and my self esteem bro. Keep going man! Keeping healthy now is the key to a longer life when you get old and retired one day. Good thing you got out of Cal Trans. Any job the demands you put your life at risk is never worth it bro. Looking forward to the next Excursion ✌️
I hear ya! The bay area is full of great spots to explore. It’s never too late to start your lifes journey. You’re doing amazing man! I'm glad I can help with motivating you! 🤙
12:37 I have never that
@@Cmertlik yeah, pretty cool stuff
Great video! Havent been there since my eight grade trip in 2005! NorCal needs more parks! I hope you go to santa cruz beachboardwalk soon.That's one of my favorites! 11:39 Oh no Boomerang! I remember the seat restraint malfunctioning on me it was the scariest ride of my life!
Thanks! I definitely wanna hit up Santa Cruz soon. They have a few new things down there. Yeah, Boomerang is still here. No serious issues have been mentioned is awhile luckily.
Me at Costco
@@GeneralBoneyspurs 🤣🤣
Nice to see some trails so close to concord. I've never heard of Mt Wanda before even though I've been in the area for years lol. This is why I enjoy your channel... reminds that I need to get out more 😅😆
@marivega3294 haha hey! Haven't seen you in awhile. Yeah, I checking out different trails in the area. I figured I may as well share them with all of you 😁
Man it’s a shame how far this park has fallen I’ve always hated that Batman ride I feel like it’s not a good fit for the park and wish it would be removed along with Kong and boomerang
@themeparklunatic1996 yeah, especially Kong and Boomerang. The area those 2 coaster are in have huge potential for much better coasters.
My first cruise (Ruby Princess) is less than 3 weeks away. I'm so excited!
@@fw7993 Ahhh! That's exciting! You'll be on the Ruby before me lol I'll be on it in September
@@Eldons_Excursions 😀
McDonalds prices are ridiculous. Great way to start the day. Not! Thank goodness nothing blew up!
@@fw7993 Right!? We all got extremely lucky
I love Medusa! 💚
Awesome ride for sure. I feel like that was one of the biggest coasters in all of NorCal.
Hey Eldon! Just found your channel about a week ago and been enjoying your videos! I didn't know there was a city named Martinez in California! That's my last name. Ha Keep up the great work and looking forward to your future excursions!
@@hectorslifeadventures Hey! Welcome to the channel! Yeah, Martinez is a little small quiet town in the Bay area. Pretty nice place. Thanks for joining me and for the comment!
BREAKING NEWS: Pioneer Park in Alaska is installing a new coaster ride exclusively for Eldon! You all heard of water coasters well they coming out with Cream Coasters - first one is the Mud Pie coaster - you bring your own spoon and enjoy the ice cold Mud Pie ice cream, dozens of loops, and if you happen to miss a spoonful no worries, the coaster will go backward! Also has many corkscrews to help settle the ice cream in your tummy! Only coaster where you can eat and puke while in one sitting!!! Just for you Eldon!!! plenty to go around too!!!!
@Cherokee-Creations 🤣🤣🤣🤣 hey, don't lie, you'd enjoy this ride as well! Haha
@@Eldons_Excursions i wouldnt know - last time i was on a ride was back in 1989 at GA the Tidal Wave and still say the Loggers Run was still better than Tidal Wave. guess my amusement park days are done . nothing round here worth going to
@Cherokee-Creations Oh yeah! I've seen that one. We definitely need some better rides in Nor Cal... these rides got old quick.
I lived in the LBC most of my life, and I always wondered what the hotel was like.. It looks clean, but totally out dated. I'm surprised! The area is great and the hotel is right on water close to everything.
@@ItsMeWisdom Yeah, it's a really nice location. Definitely out dated but not a bad hotel.
What are those police literally banging on your door like with clenched fist or were they just knocking loudly?
@@TristenChenLife they knocked loud enough to get us up and alert.
@ Did they yell at you to evacuate?
@9:50 that is where the fright fest workers are. It has fitting rooms and a makeup trailer behind the stage. (:
@@corinnechanteuse haha no way, so that's where it all goes down lol
@ yes 🤣 it’s actually kind of creepy at 530 pm we would walk up the stair case and it was like the walking dead. Maybe you can catch that next year.
@corinnechanteuse lol that's pretty funny. Yeah, I'll definitely have to catch that next year.
@ thanks for the insight on the snakes. I didn’t even notice them. I get off the ride and I’m so dizzy.
@corinnechanteuse yeah, i think there is only a lizard there now
Can't wait for March we are going to Hawaii for our 50th Wedding Anniversary on this ship. Thanks for showing us this Great ship .
@dianelittle9247 Heey, you're very welcome 😊 you guys are going to love it! Happy 50th anniversary you two!
The water show
@@CalebBurrough-rb2sf I miss that! It was a really cool show.
Situations like these give me hella anxiety. I have emergency crates for our pets, but when it comes to my saltwater tank I'm at a loss on how to make sure I get everyone. e.g. fish, coral, shrimp, snails.
@anabelmorales2514 ahh! I love fish. I used to have a 75 gallon fresh water tank in my old house. I miss it! I couldn't imagine losing everything though... id be pretty upset.
@@Eldons_Excursions They are fun.🐟 My cats love watching them swim. I have a 125 gallon saltwater tank.🐠
@anabelmorales2514 😮 thats awesome! I'd be watching them all the time. It's more maintenance than fresh water but so worth it.
Thank you for the update. It would be nice if they would revamp more in this park. I went for years when my daughter was little. I have not been for a while. They should do a ride like flying over California. I love that ride.
@CCcastro336 yesss! That'd be really cool if they brought something like that to the park. Glad you enjoyed the updates! 😊
@ I did thank you 😊
@CCcastro336 you're very welcome
Heyyy, no love for Monkey Business nor Thrilla Gorilla. We have a fieldtrip schedule and as a chaperone I told my group that's our first stop cus they are my fav rides. 😅
@anabelmorales2514 haha those 2 were definitely in operation in the back of the park. The one time I don't cover the 2 and you notice haha my luck 😆
Pounding those screwdrivers dude. 😂 👏 👏 Beautiful day for a hike! Thanks for doing the work so I don’t have to and thanks for giving us that beautiful scenery. P. S. I’m glad Caltrans or PG&E didn’t kill you!
@slcemily haha yeah we did. Definitely a memory I won't forget. You're welcome haha glad you can be active through me 😆 Yesss, I'm kinda glad I didn't stay with them as well.

Do yourselves and kitty a favor and have her spayed. My husbands cousin owns a cat clinic in Benicia that could take care of it. Dr. Rau.
Yeah, that's what we're trying to do now. It's a mission just to get her looked at.
I hope you didn't leave your cat at home?
@kellymiddleton4721 Unfortunately she ran and hid. We didn't have time to look for her and pull her out 😕 Everything was happening so fast. Luckily everything was fine and she was safe when we got home.
Love your six flags Vallejo and your other excursions Eldon btw do you have a Facebook or a Twitter (X) account
@Blueeyedsoul1986 Thank you! I have a Facebook account. Not a X account yet. Maybe in the future 🤔
Resist Chipotle fart jokes... In all seriousness, nothing worse than a rude awakening. I definitely remember the San Bruno explosion, could see this black plume from across the bay.
@AngryGumball haha all good. Chipotle fart jokes are welcome 😂 Yeah, that was a pretty scary time, for sure. I couldn't imagine what they all went through.
