Balboa and Coronado Beach

On Friday we went to Hash House a Go Go again for breakfast before heading over to Balboa Park.

Vince had had an eventful morning wherein his car died right before breakfast, so he slept in the car while we took Kamiyah and our kids through the Japanese Gardens. During the Gardens, Ammon pooped right before Mary also pooped–in her pants. Thankfully I had packed a spare set of undies for her because she had been on the verge of pooping or peeing in her pants the whole trip long.

After the gardens, we parted ways with Vince and Kamiyah and headed to the San Diego Art Museum. I was still on my period, and after Abe and I got separated, I came upon a part of the museum set up for story telling. There were pillows on top of a cushy rug on the floor. I let Clarissa crawl around while Lydia studied the nearby art and I sat menstruating on the pillows imagining what it was like being in a red tent back in the day. The pillows were awesome, but I’m not sure the red tents were.

Then we met up with Abe, who was patiently waiting in the lobby with an out of control Ammon. We then headed over to the Model Train Museum, which was absolutely incredible. It was so much bigger than the model trains we had seen on Monday…but the kids weren’t half as impressed. They were still very interested and eager, but I think their first encounter with a model train blew their minds. This encounter was fun, but it wasn’t as mind blowing.

Then we went over to our favorite fast food restaurant for one last drive through vegetarian meal before we went to Coronado Beach to relax from all the earlier stresses. Coronado Beach was incredible. There were gold flecks in the sand and the water was a great temperature. We felt so happy and relaxed after a couple hours there.

After Coronado Beach we drove back into San Diego for some Pinkberry frozen yogurt, and then headed back to camp.
