A Day At Balboa Park

The Crown Jewel of San Diego is Balboa Park. The Park was developed from a grant of 1400 acres of prime land by three very generous citizens. The architecture was dedicated in 1915 celebrating the Panama Exhibition.

We spent the day at Balboa Park in the Museum of History. John Shelton's photography of The California Baja Peninsula was especially interesting. Having traveled there several times some of his sights were identifiable but many were inspiring and educational0. Another museum display of Dinosaurs was interesting but probably more so for the youth. The Park was getting decked for the holidays and the big weekend Festival of Lights.
