CA - Day 4 & 5


Day 4 was spent at the zoo. What a wonderful experience! We were so amazed to see up close God's creativity!! We have tons of animal pictures but thought we would spare you :)
Also you will notice that you are now getting the abbreviated version of ours days due to the fact that my life is currently in a time crunch. Moving day is quickly approaching.


Below was Dylan's grin for his daddy and mom was thrilled to have the camera ready!

Day 5 - Daddy is getting Dylan covered in sunscreen for our day at Balboa Park. Balboa Park is the nation's largest urban cultural park. I would agree with it's own advertising that it is a must see in San Diego.


Through out the park the architecture was magnificent! (above -just a small taste)

There was also a Botanical Building with breath taking tropical beauty. I was thinking it would have been wonderful to just pull up a bench or even better string up a hammock and take in nature. Of course, that would have taken place in a pre-Dylan era:)

Balboa Park is also home to outdoor gardens. Two of which we visited they were the rose garden and cactus garden located side by side across the bridge from the museums.

I found the above cacti to be fascinating and spotted them through out the area of San Diego. Each "head" would almost grow backwards causing it to have a circular shape. Behind Dylan and I there are a ton of them together so I am not sure if you can tell what I mean.


These two photos are of the Museum of Man. Unfortunately, we did not get to visit this museum but did admire the architecture. Every Tuesday the park opens some of the museums to the public free of charge. The museum's on the list rotate. We didn't spend much time in any of the free museums one reason being that our little man is very animated:) No difference in his outside to inside voice at this age:)

After Balboa Park, we headed back to Mission Bay where Rory took us to the Wave House. This is an outside restaurant/bar with two wave pools. You can watch people surf as you eat. A neat and very "Southern California" location
