San Diego Trip

We went to San Diego last weekend for a couple days to hang around Balboa Park, and meet some friends for a zoo trip. And of course for the excitement of going out of town(though that might have been mostly just excitement on my part). We left right after work Thursday and got in just in time to go to bed. The boys are apparently party animals because they mostly napped before stopping for dinner past Victorville; not after. But they were pretty happy for most of the drive. Turns out that Trevor's preference in music is Lady Gaga and William Shatner spoken word... we'll have to work on that.

We found a park at Balboa Park. Lots of animals to climb on and the usual park stuff.









We let Trev pick between the dinosaur (natural history) museum and the science (Rueben H. Fleet Science Center) museum and he went for the latter. It was pretty much all hands on type exhibits so he made a good choice.





The next day we went to the San Diego Zoo and met up with some friends and their kiddos. It seems like we treked through most of the areas of the park and saw a lot. Trevor seemed most interested in the giraffes, elephants, hippos, and the animal statue things he could climb on. Ryan continues to be the most excited about goats. And trying to climb through fences.


Trev trying to show the rhino his rhino socks






John and Trevor created shot--"aaahhh I'm being squished by an elephant!!!" John was pretty suprised that everyone wasn't backed up trying to do this.




Hiiiiieeeee goat!!


Here Goatee Goatee




Trev was excited to be a spider. Ryan was excited to stick his head through a hole.


The hippos were pretty mesmerizing

We spent maybe a good six hours there before heading back home. In retrospect, we probably should have spent more like 5 and a half hours there... or at least stopped for snack a half hour earlier than we did. But after some more food they were good to go. Trevor thought he was ready to see more animals, but that seemed like beyond pushing it so we headed on home. They both conked out in the car until dinner in Adelanto and were pretty ready for bed once we got home. Ryan seemed especially happy to see his crib again.
