#146) Science

The hands on exhibits are so much fun!

#145) Ruben H. Fleet Science Center

There are lots of hands on exhibits for kids (and adults) here. There is also an awesome IMAX domed theatre - the first to combine a planetarium and an IMAX dome.

On this day, we saw Tornado Alley and had a two and a half hour visit to the science exhibits.

My son, Ian, and the orange mystery things - The idea is to figure out how they fit together.

#144) Laurel Street Bridge, San Diego

This bridge is a landmark here. It spans the 163 Freeway right in the middle of Balboa Park. We drive under it every time we go to the park (unless we take an unusual route.) We are driving north, away from the park in these photos. My son Ian shot these for me today -

The San Diego Zoo is on the right side (as is Balboa Park) - There are places in the zoo where you can watch the cars driving past on the 163.

You can see the glare from the windshield.

#143)Union Station, Sante Fe Depot

Opened March 8,1915 specifically for getting passengers to San Diego for the Pan American Exposition which was held in Balboa Park. It replaced an old victorian building that had been erected in 1887

The mountains of crap at the fair makes Pull Up A Chair sort of ill.

#137) The Fair, Part 3

I love the fair. It takes me back to when I was 10. I really enjoy seeing it through my children.

#136) The Fair, Part 2

There is a certain something to say about the art work at the fair.

#128) Fiddle Player at Crown Point

Crown Point is a short strip of bay side land in San Diego. One side is dedicated to community land used by anyone but mostly by locals here. The other side is residential and a fairly expensive, high rent area. Today, we were at a picnic on the bay at Crown Point. This beautiful lady played some beautiful music along with a group of guitarists and a couple of ukulele players thrown in for good measure. It was really a fantastic day.

#127) Bicycle - Taken By Ian with his Samsung Captivate

Got to give credit where credit is due. My 11 year old son, Ian, took this picture with his Android phone. Yes... I hate to say that he turned against Apple and insisted on buying an Android. The camera in his phone is very good...
