The first day we arrived, we arranged for a special sand castle building lesson from a professional sand sculptor.
 |
| Jen and Kristine dumping in heaps of sand and water |
 |
| Mixing is an important step |
 |
| We made a 3 tier design. |
 |
| Now that the forms are made, it's time to sculpt. |
 |
| Always work from the top down. |
 |
| Scott actually did his share of the work, but also took most of the pictures. |
 |
| Check out those arches. |
 |
| 3 hours later... |
 |
| All done! |
 |
| We got to tour the Midway- an aircraft carrier museum. This particular plane is called the cougar. |
 |
| Seals gathering at the coast of La Jolla |
 |
| We rented bikes and spent a day riding around Balboa park visiting museums... |
 |
| ... and gardens. |
 |
| We learned about the local history at the Mormon Battalion site. |
 |
| We even got out of San Diego long enough to take a fun hike in the mountains. |
