One of the girls' favorite stops in San Diego was the Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park. We headed there with Jen and Justin on Tuesday and the kids had such a great time, we ended up there on Wednesday morning as well. First stop was Kid City where the girls loved the conveyor belt at the shape factory.
Justin and Evie let loose with the vacuum balls and turning the gears to keep the balls rolling.
Exploring the wattage...
... and the gravity pull exhibit.
Tuesday night we stopped by Seaport Village for the lovely historic carousel. Ellie was delighted to find a horse with a purple saddle. Meanwhile, Mommy was feeling a little nauseous going around and around.
Daddy and Evie are flying around so quickly, Mommy luckily catches a smile. Alas, the horses did not leave the carousel like in Mary Poppins.
Evie practices her pirate grimace!
After an artisan cheese and taco picnic, the family topped off a delightful night with a fro-yo stop.
The next morning we were back to the Science Center! The girls had fun standing in the path of a tornado. We also tried the hurricane machine and could barely hear after being in 80 mph winds!
The kids also loved creating marble runs in the Tinkering Studio.
And, of course, we couldn't leave without some dancing in front of the Balboa Park fountains!
We packed up and then picked up Daddy to head over to Belmont Amusement Park at Mission Beach. Evie got a kick out of imitating the faces at the Tiki Golf course.
Daddy celebrates his hole-in-one!
Ellie was not in a mini-golf mood but she enjoyed dancing around the masks and picking up our golf balls.
Mommy too got a hole-in-one!
Next stop was the bumper cars with Daddy! They had the whole area to themselves, so Daddy bumped into a pole.
The girls could not resist the waves even though our swimsuits were packed.
Ellie didn't mind getting sandy and wet!
The girls and Daddy take flight over the waves!
That night we joined Tanja, Jimmy and Audrey for a delicious Mexican meal at their house. Audrey impressed the girls with her magic tricks!
