Model Railroad Museum & Hotel Del Coronado
After the Midway, we met up with Brian's sister and her family and his other brother who was in town from Texas and his family. We met them at Balboa Park to go to the Model Railroad Museum. We hadn't eaten anything since breakfast so I we stopped at a little cafe upstairs from the museum and grabbed a sandwich and then met the kids down in the museum. One of Brian's top places on the list to visit was the Model Railroad Museum. If we had more space in our house he would have a model railroad setup in one of our rooms. The museum was smaller than we expected but it was still fun to see. This was one of the landscapes, some were under construction but the little kids absolutely loved seeing the little trains.
This was one of the really fun model railroad displays. It was very kid intriguing with all the bright colors, tons of different models to make it look like a town. It was really fun to watch the trains go around the town and explore all the tiny little details.
This was my attempt at using my newly acquired photography skills to show the train moving. This was by far the most fast moving train in the whole museum. Most of them went pretty slow.
See...the kids were really intrigued by this one. It was so fun to see their reactions and excitement.
The museum is in Balboa Park and all kinds of different Museums are located there. The buildings had really cool architecture and designs on the outside. This was one of my favorites.
I saw this beautiful flower outside the museum and took advantage of having my cute niece with me to add to her cuteness! She's going to be a heart breaker when she grows up!!
This picture was taken on the Coronado bridge looking back towards San Diego. It's such a pretty city, especially with the surrounding water.
The closest we got to the beach. We strolled down the sidewalk between the beach and the Hotel Del Coronado. It was a beautiful sunset and a beautiful area.
The Hotel Del Coronado, a very fancy, old hotel on the island outside of San Diego. It is such a unique design and right along the beach. Brian and I dreamed of staying at one of the hotels little "cottages" that is even closer to the beach. It even had an outdoor spa on the patio. I'll keep on dreaming...
So beautiful lit up at night. This main building reminded me of a light house type building.
Brian and I were the only ones who drove around the island and strolled along the beach. After our sight seeing, we met Brian's entire family back at his sisters house for dinner. It was a long, fun filled day!!
