The Nat

 I took the boys to the San Diego Natural History Museum. Right now the Nat has some really cool exhibits. Dino Jaws and Mammoths and Mastodons.

One side is "flesh" the other fossils.  

Every kid loves being scared by a roaring T-rex.

San Diego Children's Museum

Giant net full of trash

 I took the boys to the San Diego Children's Museum. Right now the universal theme of the museum is trash. It was pretty cool.

Beautiful Balboa Park

We rode the free trolley through Balboa Park

 Koi pond in the Japanese garden. 

 I couldn't believe how big these fish get.

We went to Balboa Park's free museum Tuesday. We visited the 2 art museums and the Japanese garden. The park is always packed on free Tuesdays. However it was such a beautiful sunny day you hardly noticed the crowds.

 While in Raleigh we went to the Museum of Natural Science. D really loved this place. It is a big museum, 3 stories. It has lots of information on regional animals, dinosaurs and insects.  He could have spent all day here. We went with the rest of the family. When we entered the museum everyone scattered and went to what interest them. I stayed with D so that is why I mostly have pictures of him.
