On our last day in San Diego we visited the Museum of Man in Balboa Park. The building that it's in is beautiful!
Nope...
We think this hairy ape man looks like Jake...
The children's Egyptian area was really great!
The last exhibit we walked through was all about robotics and technology...
After the museum, Ben's family all headed home... but we apparently weren't ready to end the party just yet. So, we drove to Old Town San Diego for a very yummy lunch...
Old Town was awesome!!!
This was where we ate lunch...
Getting some ice cream...
Ben's dream store! We got 6 bottles of different root beer...
Root beer float face...
Right across the street is the Mormon Battalion Historic Site... so we had to stop in!
It was recently completely rebuilt a few years ago and it was soooo fun!! All these pictures on the wall, all of a sudden started talking to us and the kids (and Ben and I) were really amused...
The presentation about the Mormon Batallion takes you through several rooms, all with lots of interactive features. It was really cool. At the end, the kids could explore outside where they could pan for gold...
In the wagon out front...
Bye Bye San Diego! You are lovely!
Very interesting places. All of these fun learning activities are good for the kids.
