We haven't explored Balboa Park in San Diego as much as we'd like. For one, it's a 40 minute drive away. And two, the park is expansive with 14 museums, a botanical building, outdoor gardens and trails, the San Diego Zoo, amusement attractions, performing arts buildings, puppet theater, golf course, tennis club, outdoor amphitheater, restaurants, playground... you get the picture. You could spend weeks exploring all that is at this incredible park. Needless to say, there is a lot to see and do! Every once in awhile we try to explore another area of Balboa Park. Today, that meant a visit to the San Diego Natural History Museum -- our first visit to this museum!

We all agreed during the drive home that our favorite part of the 3.5 hour museum visit was watching Thomas hold the 50lb Boa Constrictor. He didn't hesitate when the expert asked for volunteers and the grin plastered on his face let us know he was enjoying every second of it. Definitely the highlight for us all today!

If the weather cooperates, Thomas and I will do a (grey) whale watching tour Tuesday afternoon out of Dana Point. The last photo is a Grey Whale's (skeletal) head. Hope we catch sightings of the real thing out there during the tour!
