A Must-See Exhibit for Local Dinosaur Lovers at the SDNHM

The San Diego Natural History Museum is currently hosting an exhibit called Ultimate Dinosaurs which boasts 16 life-size dinosaur skeletons of dinos that lived in the Southern Hemisphere. We visited the exhibit over the weekend and it was a big hit with our dino loving kid. Each station had a panel that provided info about the dinosaur's physical stats, diet and where it roamed and an interactive screen that provided even more information. Parker loved swiping through the screens to see all the photos. He was also really excited to collect all the stamps needed for his "Certified Junior Paleontologist" certificate. We decided to becomes members of the museum since the price of one day admission was almost the same as a Family Membership. Now we can go see the exhibit (and all the other exhibits) anytime!

The exhibit will be open until September 4. For more information visit the SDNHM website.
Ticket prices vary depending on whether or not you are a member.

After we finished with the dinosaur exhibit, we explored some of the other exhibits in the museum which were also very cool and kid friendly.

Tide Park Beach

A couple of weeks ago, while my hubby was downtown enjoying Comic Con, my friend Giao and I took Parker to Tide Park Beach in Solana Beach to beat the heat. I found Tide Park Beach listed on Red Tricycle's list of family-friendly beaches in San Diego. This beach is a true gem. There was ample free parking in the cute neighborhood by the beach entrance, most of the patrons were surfers and locals walking their dogs and there are tide pools at the north end of the beach to explore. It's a great spot to visit...at low tide. We were lucky that we happened to time our visit right because two hours after being at the beach, the tide started coming in and we had to migrate to the stretch of the beach that is right by the stairs!
