After the Plaza de Panama Project tour, the Veterans Museum and the Zoo, I went to the San Diego Natural History Museum<\/a> and met up with Bryan, Heather and Lauren for an evening presentation called “Among Giants: A Life with Whales” by National Geographic whale photographer and San Diego native, Flip Nicklin<\/a>. It was a very entertaining one hour presentation with lots of photos and a few videos with Flip telling stories behind each one. I was unfortunately not allowed to take pictures during the presentation. I had purchased his companion book earlier in the day and had him sign it at the reception after his presentation was over. There was complimentary mini cupcakes and coffee as well as entertainment care of a wonderful crooner named\u00a0Susanna Kurner<\/a>.<\/p>\n
