1. Oh nice!

It's been 14 years since I was in San Diego. Alas, I was far too young to appreciate the architecture... I went to Sea World and Tijuana instead (I was 11).

2. Its the largest urban park in the US.

Really spread out. If you are a runner, its like going to heaven.

3. Looks cool. In Detroit...

we have a whole island in thte middle of the Detroit River that's a park. It was designed by Olmstead who designed Central Park in New York City. It's pretty cool.

4. San Diego has some very beautiful architecture.

I visited there about 20 years ago, and really enjoyed looking at all the beautiful buildings the city has.

When we got married, he came up to LA for me. *sniff* How romantic...

My Balboa Park story...

Back in 1975, our family was on an outing at the park, and I saw the tower with the 1915 date on it, and said "Look, Grandpa! That building is as old as you are!" :D Ah, kids...

That beautiful architecture is among the very best in North America. :thumbsup:

10. Balboa Park was a lot of fun.

My wife and I also liked to go to Seaport village and Just walk through the shops and watch the ships and boats go by. I miss that.
