San Diego Trip - Day 7/8 Balboa Park, Sunset Cliffs

On our last play day we decided to go to Balboa park. It's advertised as the best Urban Cultural Center in the nation. There are 15 museums and various botanical gardens in the area. I thought it might be interesting. I found that I am definitely not an art aficionado. We went into a couple of the art museums and I basically skimmed over most of them. I could admire the artists ability; but so many of the scenes were boring and uninteresting. On the other hand I was rather fascinated by the architecture of the buildings in the area.

We went to the science museum in the park and enjoyed that.  There's something about hands on science that still appeals to the 30 year old child inside of me. Most of the science wasn't anything new to me; it was still fun to see the weird things that nature does under certain circumstances.

That night I found us a Singles ward to go to the next morning.  I really am not a big fan of family wards right now so was willing to drive a little bit in order to get to a singles ward.  I found one but it didn't start until 11 and we had to be out of our hotel by 10. So in order to blow some time we drove along the coast south of San Diego along the Sunset Cliffs.  It gave a nice contrast to the beaches that we had seen farther north.

After church we drove the 10 hours home straight. It's the longest drive I've ever done at once. I was actually proud of myself that I actually made it.  Long distance driving isn't exactly my forte.
