I don't make a list or anything, but I suppose I do make a few half-assed promises this time of year.
In 2009, I'd like to explore San Diego more.
So today, we went down to Balboa Park to check out Free Tuesday at the Science Center. Uh...my quick review?
It's kind of smallish, but there appear to be a lot of neat looking interactive stations for the kids to explore.
The bathrooms smelled reassuringly of bleach and the soap dispensers were at least half full.
Don't go on Free Tuesdays because there will always be someone else's kid grabbing everything and mucking up your experiment. And where is someone else?
I don't like great unwashed crowds. Mini-pear doesn't like loud. D-anjou was over-stimulated - just the way he likes it. We left after about 45 minutes.
Take it from a San Diego native, don't do FREE anything in this town. The crowds, the noise and the unattended kids kill it for us every time. Flint is easily over stimulated also. Those hands on activities in the science center? We can only do them if we are the ONLY people in the place, otherwise Flint wants to go. He has a low tolerance for poorly behaved kids. Worse than me! LOL
There are some great membership rates for these types of things so keep an eye out for coupons and specials. I try to post the fun San Diego things we do at my blog, feel free to visit. :)
