Balboa Park Free Tuesdays!

Well, Balboa Park has had Free Tuesdays for quite a while now and I decided it was high time I took the boys. The 1st Tuesday of the month the free museums are, The Rueben H. Fleet Science Center, The Natural History Museum and The Model Railroad Museum. Once I arrived I realized why I had yet to make an appearance, the place was P-A-C-K-E-D! Sarah and her kids and the B. McD's also came for a visit so we weren't lonely that's for sure : ) Sarah even was kind enough to take the boys to the Science Center while I went to the doctor. Thanks Sarah!

Lucky us, the Natural History Museum had a dinosaur exhibit, yeah!!


This was at the very beginning of the morning. Notice the smiling faces.








Did you know that manatees have shoulder, elbow and finger bones? I thought it was just cartilage!



This HUGE Great White hanging from the ceiling was pretty cool!


The life-size T-Rex was a hit for sure!


Well look who it is, the Garvins!


....and the B. McD's!


Off to The Railroad Museum!




Obviously a very interesting case : )


Best Buds!


Hi train!



One big, happy group : )




It was a lot of fun once it was all said and done. Sarah and I may make a return visit for the Hall of Champions, Air & Space and Automotive Museums. Should we brave the crowds? Hmmm......

Did you like the dinosaur exibit? You know, you see those one's on TV and they're SO cool! I felt ours didn't have nearly enough. Certainly worth going on the free days because it's not worth what they charge.
