A Stroll Through the Park

Balboa Park, that is. While we waited for the big girls to be done with their Old Globe field trip, my buddy and the kids strolled around. I caught up with them after attending half of the field trip and enjoyed what turned out to be a very pretty morning despite the ominous rain clouds approaching.



The arisit that created the sculpture garden at Kit Carson park also has a couple here at Balboa that the kids like to climb on.



We just happened by the Spreckles Organ pavilion as a school group was getting started with a demonstration. We were delighted to hear Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor ring out from the organ's 4,350 pipes! That piece always gives me chills. My kids know it because I play it every Halloween night. It just has that haunting quality about it.
This is a cool You Tube I found to have a listen.(And a look~ it's super cool!)
