San Diego


After Amarillo we went to Tucson. While in Tucson we went to a light parade. A light parade is when all the floats and people are covered in Christmas lights, it is their annual Christmas parade. It was very bright there.

Another thing we did was get new bikes and bike on a long trial. Tucson is building this trail and when it's done it will be around 150 miles long. We did about 11 miles of it and we saw two coyotes.

Another fun thing we did in Tucson was we went to the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. When we got there we got to touch some baby stingrays and they were very slimy.  They also had a raptor display where birds flew over our heads and it was cool.

After Tucson we to San Diego and we are staying here for a month. There is so much to do here.

We got to see the Safari Park. We saw many animals and my favorite part was we went to feed some lorikeets, which is a colorful bird and one climbed up my arm and landed on my head. There were flamingos, monkeys, elephants, and a cheetah running full speed.

We also went to Balboa Park.  The first thing we saw was a model railroad museum and it was soooooooo coooool. The trains were small size and there were lots of tracks and little towns and people. There had Waldo (from Where's Waldo) being arrested by Storm Troopers.

After the train museum we went to a photography museum and a art museum and there was a lot of things to see and learn. After that we saw a organ concert. The Spreckel's  Organ is the largest outdoor pipe organ in the world and they have free concerts on Sundays. After the organ concert there was a bell concert and is was a very pretty sound.

One of the reasons we came to San Diego is because the University of  Minnesota band was here to see the Holiday Bowl. My brother Reese played in the band. We went to see them play outdoors at a park in down town San Diego. They also marched in a parade the next day.

After the band left  Reese stayed with us for 2 weeks. When Reese got here, he, Erin, and I played games and do you know who won? It was Reese. Very disappointing.

We visited Point Loma. There is a light house there on the cliffs. You can also walk on the rocks at the bottom of the cliff.

Another day we visited Coronado Beach. When we got there me and my sister made a sand castle and we played in the water. After the beach we went biking and my mom's tire went flat.

This week i got 4 new toys including a drone that flies but that fourth toy will come this Monday. The  three I already have are a hummingbird, Blinky from Pac-man, and last but not least is the Freddy plush from the game Five Nights at Freddie's.  The one I am waiting on is Toadsworth from Super Mario Bros on the Wii
