San Diego Museums

Every Tuesday, several Balboa Park Museums offer free admission to San Diego residents.  I’ve waited too long to take advantage of this perk, so this week we headed into the city.

We started off at the Aerospace Museum.  Riding the free green open air tram from the parking lot was a highlight of the day:

Eating our snack out on the balcony, with real airplanes soaring overhead, one about every 90 seconds:

Lunchtime (I forgot spoons so we folded over our paper yogurt lids to use as makeshift spoons):

Our last stop was the San Diego Model Railroad Museum.  This museum wasn’t free but was by far our favorite of the day:
