Hopefully as you read this I am either on my way or already back home.  The snowy mess in the DC area has wreaked a lot of havoc with travelers and I am no exception.  The one benefit to my delayed departure is that I was able to spend a little additional time in the San Diego area.  I took advantage of the time to visit Balboa Park, just East of the city.  Although the temperatures here in February are mild in comparison with the rest of the country, I am sure that this park is a site to behold in the Spring, when all of the flowers and plants are in bloom.  That being said, it was still a beautiful way to spend an afternoon and there was enough green to keep me clicking.

The park is also home to numerous museums, trails, and the San Diego Zoo.  The one thing I can say about all of the attractions is that it makes me grateful to live near DC where I have the benefit of all the free Smithsonian museums.  Most of the museums in the park charged admission and the zoo is crazy expensive, running around $37 for a day pass.  Granted, it does include a bus tour but still, that’s a pretty hefty pricetag.

Here’s a couple of shots from the afternoon and hopefully my next post will be from the comfort of my own easy chair back home.
