Free Tuesday!

I love living in San Diego. Yes, it's mid January and the temperature is hovering near 80F. My kids don't really fathom snow and ice, let alone rain. We're spoiled an we know it. We have some really beautiful parks here that we can go to year round. The biggest and best is Balboa Park. It's right next door to the zoo, and has some pretty great museums, and, they have free Tuesdays. http://www.balboapark.org/calendar/detail.php?EventID=370 Last Tuesday it was the Natural History Museum, the Reuben H. Fleet Center and the Model Railroad Museum. A friend of mine and I took our kids to the RHFC and train museum. They have science toys in the RHFC and upstairs is a "Kid City" where kids can play grocery store and a lot of other things.


As we were walking back to the car, the weather was perfect, there were children running around the fountain, and I was just struck by how great we have it.

I totally agree with you there. Where else can you go out in January with short sleves and a shorts?

Between this post and the one about the zoo, you are really making me miss San Diego! I remember 80 degree days in January at the zoo or Wild Animal Park. I was still doing that last year, now I am wrapped in a blanket trying to absorb some warmth through your pictures.
