Day 26 ~ San Diego to Long Beach

On Tuesday we spent most of the day in Balboa Park, the nation’s largest cultural urban park. There are 15 major museums and it is home to the San Diego Zoo. The park was the site of two Expositions. The first was the 1915-16 Panama-California Exposition. The second was the 1935-36 California Pacific International Exposition. The beautiful old buildings house many of the museums. The Botanical Building is one of the world’s largest lath structures.


Our next stop was the USS Midway Museum. It is difficult to comprehend the size of this massive ship. It is 1000 feet long and 258 feet wide with a 4 acre flight deck.

Today we woke up to rain as we prepared to move to our next destination, Long Beach. I was sorry to leave the San Diego area.
There were many places we planned to see during our visit. Maybe next time when I am healthier and more energetic.
After arriving at the Long Beach RV park this afternoon, we took a very long walk along the bike path and waterway. Th sun was peeking though. We could see the Queen Mary in the distance.
