San Diego Part 2: Balboa Park

We spent our second full day in San Diego just hanging out, walking to breakfast, and playing in the sand on the beach.  Luke loved playing in the sand and ended up with sand in every crevice imaginable.  This doesn't surprise me as he typically comes home with several pounds of sand in his shoes from the sandbox at school.  Mia on the other hand wanted nothing, and I mean NOTHING, to do with the sand.  She didn't even want to walk in it ... with her shoes on!  Oh well, there is always next time!

On our last day we went to check out Balboa Park.  We didn't get an early enough start to go to the zoo, but that is definitely on my list for our next visit to SD.  I was shocked to find how large Balboa Park is aside from the zoo, and how much there is to do there for us and kids.  We had lunch at a lovely outdoor cafe, strolled the art exhibits, wandered through the Botanical Gardens, Luke and Daddy checked out the model railroad museum, and we all rode the carousel and the minature railroad.  What a treasure!
