Yes,
You will need some form of identification.
It would be best to have ID with you whenever you are out of the US.
You may not need a passport to cross yet but they are getting in the habit of asking for it.
So it is easier to avoid the verbal advisory (lecture) and be able to produce it.

Other than that Have Fun
And donâ€™t do anything too stupid. -lol

EDIT: I'm not sure what you are getting at when you say you have blonde hair and are a white girl that lives in San Diego. If you are saying that you have a greencard and are not a naturalized U.S. citiizen, then you need to see if you can become a naturalized U.S. citizen. http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=12e596981298d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=96719c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD

If you can't become a naturalized U.S. citizen, then you need a passport from your country of origin.

It hasn't been determined yet as to when passports will be required. As of now, all you need is a government issued I.D. (such as your driver's license). Come January 31, you will need both a government issued I.D. (such as your drivers license) and your birth certificate. http://travel.state.gov/travel/cbpmc/cbpmc_2223.html

If you fly, you need a passport now. If you are a legal U.S. resident, then you will need your passport from the country from which you were born.

Based on the prior questions you have asked, you have indicated you are a minor. That means you a notarized letter from both of your parents (as long as both are alive). If only one is alive, then you'll need a notarized letter from the parent who is alive and court documents to prove the one parent has sole custody of you.

I work for a Passport agency, if you are going out of the United States to anywhere, you NEED a passport. It is required starting this month. That is to Mexico and Canada. Especially if going by air. Again, REQUIRED!

It depends from which border you are coming from, the best is always to have your passport, I.D.'s, and if you are in the process of having your citizenship, better ask before to an Immigration agent, they will provide you the latest information.
