On Tuesday, the four kids and I descended upon Balboa Park, our favorite field trip destination, and thought we'd enjoy Free Tuesday at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center and the Natural History Museum. Unfortunately, it being Spring Break, most of San Diego showed up as well. We couldn't even get into the Science Center as the line for entering stretched out the doors and past the fountain! We were able to gain immediate admittance to the Natural History Museum, but it was far too crowded to navigate with my electric scooter, so after checking out the remodeled downstairs exhibits and giving up on the second floor, we decided to hoof it to the San Diego Zoo instead. Our annual passes are very much worth their weight in gold! So we explored the much less crowded Zoo, and here are some of the photos I took while there:
Iguanas
Red-Headed Lizard
Indian Gharial
Cactus -- in addition to being one of the finest zoos in the world, the San Diego Zoo is also a botanical garden featuring rare plants from around the world. In fact, the botanical collection is actually more valuable than the animals.
