Flat Stanley Takes Us Out

My nephew's 2nd grade class is doing this awesome project where they send out Flat Stanley paper dolls to family members and then we take him around and take photos with him. It is a great idea and has motivated us to get out and see the sights in a city people spend thousands of dollars to visit.

So, today, Wednesday, we made it special. I started (after wishing Grammy and Grandpa a safe journey home) by having lunch at Gillespie Field with Owen & Cam. The food was super tasty and we had fun watching the planes and asking the passengers where they were going.

Since it was a normal half-day, after school I packed up the kids (ours plus Gavin), snacks, drinks and Flat Stanley, and headed to Balboa Park. It was a great day!! We went to the Model Railroad Museum, walked around the park, fished Cameron's newly stamped penny from the wishing pond, climbed trees, played hide-and-seek, chased a peacock, pet a Great Dane, sang on the stage of the Spreckles Organ Pavilion and enjoyed the PERFECT weather.

It was a beautiful day...truly!
