Today we had a relaxing day in Balboa Park, San Diego. The park is home to 14 museums, several gardens and the world famous San Diego Zoo. We didn't go to the zoo, but we managed to visit the Botanic Garden House (tropical plants), the desert garden, the rose garden, the Museum of Photographic Art, an organ recital (with a 9/11 theme) and the Timkin Museum of Art.

Having worked up an appetite, we used our trusty GPS device to find 'The Studio Diner' for a burger and milkshake. We only rated the diner as three stars out of five, because while the decor was good, the air-conditioning was on maximum (we were freezing), the service was luke warm and the food was only average quality.

Lastly, we drove to La Jolla Beach for a short stroll and then went for a trip down memory lane - visiting Mission Beach where we stayed almost exactly two years ago for our last weekend in the USA while we were living here.
