Our favorite part of San Diego is Balboa Park
Balboa Park was one of our favorite places in San Diego. It is absolutely gorgeous! There is soooo much to do there that it would be impossible to feel satisfied in just one day. We hit the Botanical Garden, saw a show at the Pipe Organ Pavilion, witnessed a few AMAZING art walks, and had a bite to eat outside while people watching. We regretted not having an additional day to go back and see more of what we wanted to see but now, this gives us all the more reason to return to the beautiful city of San Diego-
