A Day at the San Diego Zoo and the Natural History Museum
As these two hand stamps show (turtle on the left, dinosaur on the right), I spent the morning into the early afternoon at the San Diego Zoo with Mary and Diana, eating lunch at the Front Street Café inside the Zoo. Then spent a couple of hours at the Natural History Museum in Balboa Park, focusing on taking more pictures of the dinosaur exhibits and watching the 3D dinosaur documentary.
