dj snow Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 As seen in an earlier post of mine, a few weeks ago I took a trip over to visit Sea World in San Diego. Luckily, I built in some time to see more than just that park and was able to see more of the city itself. I'm so glad I did, because San Diego is fantastic. I know that what I saw just scratches the surface, but nevertheless I hope you enjoy these photos. Finally, one last look at Giant Dipper, along with its neighbor the Beach Blaster (KMG Afterburner). For some reason I found this "I'm Drowning!" icon to be humorous. Up at the Wave House, riders were putting on quite a show for the crowd. Instead of riding rides, then, let's visit the Pacific Ocean. People were swimming today, and it was not very warm! Looks like Giant Dipper won't be giving any rides today! Now it was time to head down to Mission Beach. Look, it's a roller coaster! At The Prado, you can enjoy lovely meals such as this one. This is the back of the House of Hospitality. The umbrellas you see are part of the outdoor dining area at The Prado. This is the Spreckels Organ Pavilion. The massive pipe organ inside was built in 1915 and can be heard from miles away. Looking at the Tower from across Palm Canyon. The Palm Canyon trail takes you down to the bottom of a ravine that is filled with very tall palm trees. Very cool! Light, shadow, architecture, lamps! It's the California Tower! Classic gardens dot Balboa Park. This garden reminded me of the area around the Hotel Hershey. I had to stand out in the middle of a street to get this shot. I did it for you, the reader! The Botanical Building houses thousands of tropical plants and flowers inside. This interesting structure is the Botanical Building. Along with its many cultural attractions, Balboa Park has plenty of natural beauty. This tree, for instance, has a 145-foot-wide canopy. (That's big!) From the hotel I headed out to Balboa Park. Balboa Park is home to many interesting buildings like this one. Most house museums. The hotel I stayed at thoughtfully provided these helpful instructions on the soap packaging.
Hattuchili Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 Great photo TR. The Balboa Park looks awesome with all the trees and all the diferent plants! However, to sad you had no chance to ride the Giant Dipper that day! --Sören
