Summer Fun for Kids in San Diego

The kids are having a great summer here in San Diego.  We've been doing a different activity each day, to not only get them out of the house, but to also explore the area that we live in, and to take full advantage of everything that San Diego has to offer.  Here are just a few of the fun things we've done.  I'll be sure to share even more when I get a chance.

San Diego Botanic Garden

It has been a few years since we've been to the San Diego Botanic Garden, it was known as the Quail Botanical Garden back then, but with a name change, and a big change in the gardens it is beyond amazing.  I had no idea exactly what to expect before I went. 

I could go on and on about all of the fabulous things that we saw and did, but instead I will just share a whole lot of photographs I took of the beautiful gardens and the two children's spaces. 

Oh and before I forget, Active Duty Military families are admitted free through the Blue Star Museum Program and Frances Hamilton White until September 3rd (we had no idea about this before arriving).  Also from September 1st the annual family membership to San Diego Botanic Garden is reduced from $75 to $25 for Active Duty Military families.  You have to purchase this deal at the garden though, it's not available on-line.
