Balboa Park is in the middle of downtown San Diego. It’s filled with museums and beautiful buildings. My dad, brother and I took a little walking tour through the place just to get out of the house.
Even Santa was there.
This week I’m in San Diego visiting with my dad and his family and my aunt and uncle that live out here. It’s rare that I make it all the way across the country (8 hours of travel!) so I try to take advantage whenever other circumstances send me this way.

Not that there is anything wrong with the Nikon D80. In most cases, you wouldn’t even be able to tell the difference between the two cameras. It’s when things get tricky that the camera really shines. Like here:
