So, if you don't know this about Nate, he loves legos and trains. I mean LOVES. Maybe borderline obsessed. So when he found out that the model railroad museum was having a lego train exhibit, well, we knew we would be making a trip to San Diego. The following are pictures from a beautiful January day (yeah, short sleeved t-shirts. eat your heart out!) in Balboa Park, San Diego.
Think Legoland, but on a smaller scale. I think Brent and Nate daydream about building lego displays like these.
After the display closed, we walked around the park for a bit. Balboa Park is amazing. I love the architecture, the way it's laid out so you can walk to all the different museums. I wish Los Angeles had a similar park. They said they were going to build a "great park" in Irvine where the old El Toro Marine base was, but so far they haven't done anything noteworthy. Maybe someday...
Anyway, here are more pics from the day.
The kids loved playing on this crazy alligator sculpture. I hope it was "touch and feel" art...they were climbing all over it.

this made me remember the time we went to balboa together. you guys always do such fun stuff.
So jealous of your short sleeves in January and also of the cool Lego exhibit! That alligator looks so cool and what a great job would it be to be a Lego display builder?! It's always fun to read your blog, Shannon!
