Day 27 - San Diego

Another sunny day but noticeably cooler - it's probably  better though - I have a feeling that we will not be prepared for our return to snow and cold weather next week.  Oh well, it will only be for a little while and then we will head to Long Island for some baby sitting and then to Disney with Eric's family and his in-laws, the Volmuts, to get a few days of Florida sun.  We usually head 90 miles further south but that is unlikely to happen this year - hang in there Fidel, maybe next year.

It's Sunday so Christine said it is market day. The market was only a short walk from her apartment.  She should have warned us not to eat breakfast though - there were all kinds of organic fruit and vegetables to sample, garlic, hummus and any kind of free trade item you could imagine - San Diego is very granola crunchy oriented.  Ron bought Chris a flower - no not the one pictured below - that she can hang on her porch to add to the pansies he planted earlier in the week.  

 
Since we still had time before Chris' soccer game we headed off to Balboa Park - which I think the rest of San Diego population did also.  We went to the Rose Garden but it was too early with the exception of a few roses. The cacti garden was interesting though. 

From there we strolled through some other sections of the park but there are so many facets to the park we would need at least a week to scratch the surface.  The largess of the entire complex is a credit to the founding fathers (and mothers) of modern day San Diego.

At 3:30 Chris had her Sunday soccer league and we went to watch her play. It was hard to get any pictures through the netting but her team won easily 12- 4.  Back home we made Veggie Melts for dinner - Chris' favorite, after her and Ron woke up from their naps.

Hard to believe that a month ago we were packing the car and getting ready to head to Buffalo.
