December Night's at Balboa Park

This is the largest free event of the entire year, and as you all know we love free! They expected a crowd of over 300,000 in two days, but while we were there it really didn't seem that busy. That could be because the park is massive or the fact we got there two hours before the event started to see the poinsettias in the botanical gardens. We walked around smelling all the different food at the International Cottages, even picked up some cafe latte at the house of Italy. All the food costs money so what makes this a free event is that all the museums in the park open their door free to the public, there is over 20 museums to choose from ranging from San Diego history to car museums and so on. Nick and Connor choose to go to the Natural History Museum to see Dinosaurs! They had a blast running around all the exhibits and thought that the 30 foot great white hanging from the ceiling was great. Do you see the size of that funnel cake? We all sat around the fountain and shared it before the museum. Let me tell you it was very good but we couldn't finish it all.
