San Diego- Last Day

We started the day at the playground in Balboa park. It wasn't anything too special, but it did have this cool sundial that was very accurate.

It was 9:30 when we looked at this.

After, we walked over the science museum. It was a very hands-on museum so AJ loved it.

This is Shawn and AJ making electricity by pedaling.

This is Charlie in the Kid City. It is designed for kids under 5. Charlie, as usual, became very attached to balls and never let them go. He took the balls from one display and then proceeded to use them on all other displays. He had a blast.

Next we went to the Japanese Friendship Garden. It was beautiful garden, just the way you would picture a Japanese garden.

I caught AJ near the pool being contemplative. I took a picture, because he may never stand still long enough for it to ever happen again.

This is a collection of bonsai trees. I had never seen so many in one place before.

After, we moved on to the Museum of Sports. It was kind of lame. But, we did get some ice cream there, so all was not lost.

This is AJ expressing how cold he is in the 65 degree weather. I can't believe this kid was born in MN.

Here is Charlie enjoying his ice cream. I don't know what it was about this trip. Maybe it was all the walking and hands-on activities. But I have never seen the boys eat so much.


And finally we went to the aerospace museum. That was very cool. They had planes, hanging from every corner. They even had displays dedicated to Superman and Snoopy. I loved how they didn't take themselves too seriously.


This is AJ and Charlie in the cockpit of a plane. Once again, Charlie wanted no part of it until AJ gave it his blessing.

We had a fantastic trip and I can't wait to go back. There is so much to do, and we didn't do nearly all of it. But next time, we are definitely going to the beach!
