Balboa Park

Continuing on our vacation theme of going to new places, we spent the rest of our time in San Diego at Balboa Park. It has a fountain, so Zack was an instant fan. 
 There are a lot of different museums to check out. 
But our time was limited (when isn't it?) so we focused on the Fleet Science Museum. 
Who knew science could be so much fun? 

 This is by far my favorite picture of the day... 

 Pluck a guitar string and this happens. 

There was an entire Grossology display. Zack and I didn't explore it, but this interactive barf exhibit reminded me of some of my friends... (not because they make me want to barf). 
 This is also a cool picture, Ben is sitting on the other side of the glass and that is Zack's head on top of Ben's body, but Zack is sitting across from him. How is it possible?  Science! Of some sort. I was never very good at science. 
 
Mid-way through our zoo experience the day before, Zack needed a drink of water. Not just any water, water from a drinking fountain. Do you think we could find one at the zoo?  Luckily we found one at Balboa Park. It was as warm and metal tasting as he hoped. 
I would have loved to take Zack through the gardens, but we had to get home. We saw this cool old tree before we left. 
Maybe next time.
