Balboa Park - San Diego

About a 5 minute drive from the Gaslamp District in downtown San Diego, is the beautiful Balboa Park. Shown here is Museum row, but there is a beautiful park attached to this for picnicking and bike riding. There is a Science and Space Museum, Natural History Museum, Photography Museum, Japanese Friendship Garden, outdoor theatre, Shakespearean Theatre, and Conservatory. (There are more museums, but I can't think of them off the top of my head). Beautiful spanish architecture built in the 1800s.





We saw this beautiful bride in her light pink dress being photographed. Believe it or not, she was wearing these huge black clunky tennis shoes under her dress! I guess she just wanted to have a natural, comfortable smile on her face.

The museums are closed on Mondays and during the week, they close at 4:00pm.
