Balboa Park Desert Garden Family Photos | L + D
Balboa Park Desert Garden Family Photos | L + D As a San Diego family photographer, I love having so many location options to choose from. I always like to first ask my clients the broader question of what they envision for their family portrait shoot. Whether it’s the beach, park, meadow, city, etc. Once they give me a category, then I like to offer more specific location ideas. Sometimes, your…

i could be a better boyfriend than him
Tumblr media
Song- Boyfriend by Dove Cameron
Pairing- Natasha Trace x fem!reader
Warning(s)- None
Wordcount- 525
A/N- Just a short one shot for all of y'all and I might make these a series. @phoenixssugarbaby you might like this.
I can’t believe that I’m actually doing this.
Just over six months ago I broke up with my boyfriend of over a year, and now I’m taking engagement photos with one of the most successful CEOs on the West Coast. Well, I’m not actually engaged, just faking it so she can keep her family’s business. The only reason I’m doing this is because I’m a petty person and would like to make my ex jealous. Is it healthy? Not really?
Smoothing my outfit in the mirror, I made some slight adjustments before I heard my phone ringing.
“Hello?” I answered.
“We’re waiting in front of your apartment,” she told me.
“I’ll be down in a few,” I told her.
Grabbing my things, I rushed out of my apartment and down the stairs where I saw the SUV waiting for me. Opening the door, I slid across the seat across from her.
Natasha Trace, the most successful CEOs in all of California. We randomly met at a bar and we just drunkenly spilled our life stories. A week after meeting, she came back to the bar and proposed this idea. After spending a few weeks contracting agreements and creating our story, we’re now taking engagement photos.
“You look nice,” she complimented me.
“Thanks,” I thanked her. “You look nice also.”
“You still want to do this?” She asked.
“For our own personal vengeance, yes,” I answered.
She nodded her head and we sat in the car in silence until we reached Balboa Park. getting out of the car, Natasha led me to where the photographer was. We did our introductions and the photographer told us what the plan was.
“Where’s your ring?” The CEO whispered in my ear as we got to our fist spot.
“Oh shit,” I reached into my bag and slid the ring on my finger.
Grabbing my hand, we went to the first spot and took photos.
Not going to lie, despite us not being a couple, the photographer was convinced we were one. Even from the poses and actions they told us, we were pretty natural with them. There wasn’t any awkward tension between us. Sometimes we would crack a laugh from a cheesy joke or one liner I would say.
“Why don’t the two of you kiss?” The photographer suggested.
“There’s no need for that,” I started to deny.
“No, it’s fine,” Natasha reassured them and placed a kiss on my cheek which made me blush a little.
“Let’s try a full on kiss,” the photographer clarified.
“Are you sure you want to do this?” I asked Natasha.
“I’m sure if you’re sure,” she gently placed her hand on my cheek. “Do you trust me?”
“Well, I’ve only known you for almost two months,” I started to ramble but was cut off when Natasha placed her lips on mine.
As she kissed me slowly, her lips were nice and soft. They weren’t rough like my previous partner’s. I felt myself melt a little as she kissed me.
“So, am I better than your ex?” She smirked a little after we finished kissing.
“Way better,” I answered before kissing her again.

My first purchase of a “new” camera was in 1975 when I bought a Canon F-1 from a sailor in San Diego. My grandmother actually cried and begged me not to go when I (stupidly) told her I was off to photograph a Nazi rally in Balboa Park. That camera has been used to document Hells Angels, anti-war protests, and everything I’ve seen from Kakadu to Pentre Ifan, and Baja to B.C. to Burning Man. After forty years, the foam light seals needed to be replaced; a simple job, and I sent it to a shop in Beaverton that decided to “update” the meter and destroy the film advance gears while they were at it. The camera is now little more than a sculptural object, but as the shutter works, I can tape one piece of film inside, and expose one frame at a time. Rather than annoy a stranger or my lovely wife, to test it I photographed the St. Johns Bridge, and myself. It’s rare for me to use 35mm, but maybe I should consider modifying my attitude about double exposures.

I’m fortunate that I’ve found someone who has that philosophy … [Love] is the most powerful thing. When it comes to my family, friends, a relationship … it centers me. You only live once, and I want to be proud of everything that I do and just have fun. I want to be able to say that I had a really fulfilled, fun life.”
Talking about Nick, an ex:
“I was in a relationship previously where I had to hide everything and it wasn’t my choice. I had to go through different exits and take separate cars and do the craziest things, and it just really wasn’t worth it. It was like a year of my life completely wasted.”

March 30th:
Justin sits down with Complex and talks about Selena and growing up in the game:
Complex: Obviously, you and Selena are fodder for the gossip blogs everyday. How hard is it to keep your relationship private?
JB: It’s so hard, because everyone’s got a camera-phone, and now everyone wants to get their picture on the blogs. So they’ll send anything that they have to the blogs. So you don’t really get any privacy. If I want to go out to eat, if I’m in L.A., I just have to expect that there’s going to be someone there. That’s the only thing that I don’t like.
Complex: Is it tough for you guys? A lot of people like, hate it. Do you guys hate it, or is it like, “This comes with the territory, we’ve got to deal with it, it sucks?”
JB: I’m kind of both. I don’t like it, but I understand it. I’ll be covering my face or something, and the comment that pisses me off so much is, “Oh, get over it, Justin. You’re famous. People are going to take your picture. Just suck it up. You’re rich. You’re making a lot of money. Suck it up. This is one of the things that you have to do.” I’m like, “Yo I just got off an eight-hour flight. I’m tired. My eyes have bags under them. I’m not trying to take pictures.” I’m not going to come to your house, wake you up out of a deep sleep and start snapping your picture, no matter how you look right now. It doesn’t matter. When I get off a flight, I’m not trying to sit there and let them take pictures of me. I’m tired. I’m scratching my eyes. I just don’t like taking pictures in general.
Complex: There’s been high profile couples in history: Justin and Britney, Jay and Beyoncé. Jay and Beyoncé kind of kept it private. Everyone knew they were together, but they kept it quiet. Even with the kid, they kept it so under wraps. Do you learn anything from those relationships? And do you guys talk about that?
JB: Yeah. I mean, for me, it’s like, there’s no way to hide it completely, because then it would be unfair for us. Then, we’re not even able to have a relationship. It’s like, “You take this car, and I’ll take this car, and then we’ll meet up at the spot. Then, you go in this door, I’ll go in this door. We’ll end up crossing ways. You get back in this car. We’ll cross over, do a James Bond. You go through the kitchen. I’ll go through the back area. Then we’ll meet in the dressing room and see each other.” At that point, it’s like, it’s not even a relationship. You’re just hiding from everyone. That’s unfair and unhealthy, man.

Seventeen: Everyone is so interested in your personal life, especially your relationship with Selena. A lot of your fans don’t approve…
Justin: Everyone has haters, so you always have to deal with the negativity and be positive about it. I don’t think it’s nice; I’d rather they be nice, but at the end of the day I don’t let it affect me.
Seventeen: You’ve planned some amazing dates for Selena - who taught you to be so romantic?
Justin: I’m just trying to make her happy, that’s all. I think it’s important to make all woman feel like they’re princesses because every girl is a princess, I’m serious.
Seventeen: Will.I.am said he thinks it’s important for people to experience heartbreak so they’ll have something to sing about. What do you think?
Justin: I haven’t gone through it so I don’t really know what it’s about. I don’t think anyone wants to have heartbreak. I haven’t been in that deep a place yet, but I’m still looking. I’m still learning every day.
Seventeen: Would you and Selena ever record music together?
Justin: Yeah. I love her music, so maybe we could collaborate.

"I'm such a bad girlfriend," Selena sheepishly muttered when she confused Someday for Paris.

“They were showing these little elderly couples, and it was so cute. Then all of a sudden we’re both looking up and we come on the screen and it’s like … it was so awkward. It was so weird. I mean you have to kiss, right?”
"They wrote a song together and it’s beautiful - it’s amazing - I don’t know if it will make the album, but if not I’m sure they’ll release it at some point, because it’s a really great record. It’s kind of like … it’s Taylor and Justin combined. So it’s a little bit of an upbeat song, but it’s very acoustic.”

UsWeekly: At least you get quality time with Selena. What do you love about her?
Justin: I dunno! She just carries herself in a very elegant way. And my family loves her, which is usually hard because my mom’s really picky. My mom wants, you know, a good Christian girl with good manners.
UsWeekly: Do you understand girls better now?
Justin: Well, every girl is different, so they are hard to figure out. Like, the way most men work is the same. But each woman works differently. It’s like I can’t figure them out! But I do know girls like you to tell them you love them and that they’re all beautiful all the time. So I do that a lot with any girl I’m with. I tell them that as much as possible.
UsWeekly: Most romantic gift you’ve ever given?
Justin: I’m not saying to who- but I gave a girl an expensive diamond bracelet recently. It was so pretty, I knew she’d love it!
UsWeekly: Would you and Selena ever do a duet?Yeah. I think she’s very talented.
Justin: That would be very cool. We have nothing planned- but I’m not opposed to it!

“I’m going to call my girlfriend.” So he does, reaching Selena on the Florida set of her new film Spring Breakers.
“Whats up baby? I can’t stop thinking about you… I said I can’t stop thinking about you. That’s all. Yes, so, um, I gotta do this interview but I just wanted to call and hear your voice really quickly… Okay, I love you. Okay bye.”
Skype and FaceTime keep them connected, he says.

May 27th:
Selena and Justin were strolling an outdoor mall in Calabasas when paparazzi began harassing them as they were trying to leave. According to witnesses (and photos taken) this photographer was so aggressive that he even blocked Justin's car, and was said to be rudely harassing Selena "about the herpes (coldsore) on her lip" while trying to capture a photo of her. After they began harassing Selena, Justin got out of his car and went to smack the camera from his hands and him and the photographer both fell off the curb.
The photographer was taken away by ambulance AND filed a police report that named Justin as the culprit. The Los Angles County Sheriff's office is investigating and say they will talk to Justin.
One of the girls who supposedly was there shared this:
"long story short; the paps were blocking his car and wouldnt move, he got mad after asking them to move, justin tried to knock their camera, the pap and justin both fell off the curb, he lost his shoe and hat while fighting him, selena and justin left and came back because selena lost her phone, and the paps would not get out of her face, and then they left and now the paps are trying to get money from the whole thing"
Another girl that was allegedly there as a witness had nearly the exact same story as above, except in addition she added the paparazzi were rudely asking Selena "about the herpes on her lip," and that's when and why Justin knocked his camera.

In a statement released Tuesday, the Sheriff's Department said the investigation was continuing and that detectives "are planning to interview Mr. Bieber." Law enforcement sources said Selena is among the witnesses detectives would like to talk to. Detectives are investigating claims by the photographer that Justin struck him after he snapped photographs of Selena at the Commons at Calabasas Shopping Center.
The photographer complained of pain and was taken by the Los Angeles County Fire Department to a hospital, where he was treated and released, officials said. The sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing, stressed that the probe was in its early stages.

"Selena and Justin sat side-by-side," a source tells PEOPLE.
"They were laughing and smiling the whole evening. They were being very low-key and gracious as to not take away any attention from the cause."
June 15th:
Justin officially releases his third studio album Believe and many of the album's songs are inspired by Selena and their relationship, including Be Alright, a song about their long distance relationship, that Justin wrote by himself:
Across the ocean, across the sea
Startin' to forget the way you look at me now
Over the mountains, across the sky
Need to see your face and need to look in your eyes
Through the storm and, through the clouds
Bumps on the road and upside down now
I know it's hard baby, to sleep at night
Don't you worry
Selena is referenced by name in the song Beauty & A Beat during Nicki Minaj's rap:
“Justin Bieber / You know I'm gonna hit 'em with the ether / Buns out, wiener/ But I gotta keep an eye out for Selener”

June 28th:
Justin cut short a pre-taped interview with U.S. radio show Mojo in the Morning after the host compared him to Justin Timberlake and quizzed him about a potential romance between his mother and One Direction's Harry Styles.
Thomas Carballo, the host of the show, was in the middle of a phone chat with Justin when he (rightfully so) took offence at his line of questioning - and hung up.
The 10-minute interview got off to a bad start when Carballo told Justin he thought he was Timberlake the first time he heard him.
Justin said, "That's funny because our voices sound nothing alike... Saying I sound like somebody else is definitely not a compliment."
Justin eased up when talking about his new song Maria, which was inspired by the woman who falsely claimed he was the father of her baby last year, but he lost his cool when Carballo got personal and asked if he was worried about Harry Styles falling for his mum.
The DJ said, "Do you worry about Harry around your mum, since he likes older women?"
Clearly upset, Justin then mumbled something about Carballo's mother and, as the radio presenter explained his mum was dead, Justin had already hung up the phone.
A record company representative then tried to convince the DJ that Justin's phone had cut off, explaining, "I can't get him. He's in a really s**tty area."
She later revealed Justin was "really upset" with the questions, adding, "He probably won't be calling back."

It’s November 17th, and that means it’s time to celebrate a food made of flour, water, and yeast--it’s National Homemade Bread Day! The National Homemade Bread Committee from Ann Arbor, Michigan, founded #NationalHomemadeBreadDay to encourage families to enjoy making homemade bread. This day has been celebrated since the early 1980s.
The earliest breads resemble tortillas and date back to around 8000 BCE. Now the list of breads is too abundant to even try and list. Used by nearly every culture and country, used as peace offerings, used at religious ceremonies, and even used as currency, whether your choice is flatbread or sourdough, it’s time to pull out those cookbooks and celebrate bread.
Archives Technician Tim was scrolling the National Archives Catalog and found a photograph from Record Group 181, Records of Naval Districts and Shore Establishments. This photo shows a Navy baker and assistant removing loaves of bread from the oven at the Naval Training Center, San Diego, California.

This past weekend (Thursday-Sunday) I took my very first solo trip across the country to the beautiful San Diego, California! It wasn’t just my first trip to California ever, but it was also my first flight ever! I’m from Michigan and I've lived here my whole life. I just turned 23 (Aug 21) and I’ve only ever made it to very little states near me... (Ohio, Kentucky, Chicago). All my life, all I’ve ever wanted to do was travel and visit new places and see and experience new things. My family in general are not much big travelers, so they didn’t know much about it, or have any desire to push me past the things that scared me. Well, California has always been a dream state for me to visit. I’ve always wanted to see the beautiful ocean, the palm trees, the perfect weather all year round, etc! Well after talking about “I will make it there one day” to my family about 100x a day, about two months ago, I finally decided that as a 23rd birthday gift to myself- kinda as a new start to a new year in my life, I decided to plan that trip! I don’t have many close friends in general- let alone one that would travel to Cali with me in a short amount of time. I also don’t have family who would do the same! The one fear of mine was flying there. I had never been on a plane before, and all my life that and heights have always been my biggest fear. But I thought about the fact that as the years had went on, my fear of heights weren’t as bad, and I’ve done many things that I enjoyed that I didn’t think I’d ever do. I first booked my flight and started doing LOTS of research about the best way to plan this, considering I’ll be all alone, in a new state I’ve never seen before. I knew no one there, and only had some places and things listed that I knew I wanted to see. I do have a friend who lived in San Diego for two years, before moving back to Michigan. I asked her some of her favorite places and what not to see. I managed to find a cheap hotel in the middle of The Gaslamp District, which personally was an excellent location for me to stay. It was in the perfect location to walk to many restaurants, shops, Balboa Park, Petco Park, etc. It was only a 15 minute ride to Sunset Cliffs and Ocean Beach, and the airport! I ended up Lyfting to the beach and airport each time, since it was a little more difficult to walk, but it only cost about $10-$15 each way if you chose shared ride, which personally made me feel a little more safe and comfortable. Plus if you left to one of the locations in the morning, and planned to spend the day there and come back at night, then it was cheaper than taking a few trips there and back each day. I then spent all the rest of my time walking everywhere using google maps, and yelping places nearby! Let me tell ya, after figuring all those details out, it was all so smooth and wonderful! I had an amazing time just taking as much or as little bit of time the places I wanted to go, and things I wanted to see. I made the choices for everything and didn’t have to worry about feeling like I missed out on things because someone I was with didn’t want to “go there” or “see that.” I felt like I gained an extra bit of independence and learned a whole lot. The one thing that was probably the hardest about traveling alone, was when you’d want to get a Instagram worthy picture in front of somewhere, and you had no one to take it. I learned if you look around you and look for a friendly face. Usually I’d go for young teenage like girls who are most likely very into social media, or young mom’s who are already taking the time to stop and take millions of pictures of their children. They are usually sooo nice and will say yes to taking 1 or 100 photos for you (I did so happen to find a young photographer at Ocean Beach who took over 100 pictures of me, with different angles- so that was cool: see first photo). 
Now on my last full day in Cali (I had a 9am flight Sunday morning) I didn’t have a whole lot of money left so didn’t want to spend it all getting a lyft to and from the beach again, as much as I wanted to. I just wanted to see something new! Well, Friday afternoon- I was walking back from Balboa Park to my hotel in Gaslamp which was about 45 minute walk. There came a point where I ran across a street before the light turned green and then got stopped at the next crosswalk. Suddenly there was a young, attractive gentleman stopping at the crosswalk as well. He had a paramedic uniform on and a very friendly smile on his face. He then turned and asked me what I was running from. I was pretty confused by his question, where he then proceeded to explain I must not be from around there because no one runs across the street unless they’re running from something. I then explained everything. Obviously not telling too much detail or anything because I’m by myself, in a different state, and with some guy I’ve never met before. He was super nice though, and explained how he accidently got on the wrong trolley home from work (which he’s never done before) and was walking to the trolley station, just a couple blocks before Gaslamp. Then he seen me running across the street, was concerned and also knew we’d be walking awkwardly at the same pace a few blocks so thought it’d be less awkward to introduce himself instead of complete silence. We then talked for a bit. He’s very open and very funny! He was very easy to talk to, which is unusual for me who is super introverted. He then asked if he could walk with me until he gets to his destination, because it would be safer than just by ourselves. We ended up walking the 30 minutes to Gaslamp. We were so into our conversations that we both forgot about his street and we didn’t even mind it. He then asked for my Instagram and told me how happy he was he took the wrong trolley that day. I walked the rest of the way to my hotel and he left to go back to the trolley station. Now... Saturday comes and I’m standing in line at Dunkin’ Donuts, it’s not even noon yet and he messages me on Instagram, asking my plans for the day. I didn’t have any so I just told him id probably just walk around and see where it takes me. he knew that was my last day there and told me it was his only day off that week. He asked if I’d want to hangout for a bit. I was a little unsure considering I didn’t actually know him, and all my family told me not to talk or go with strangers. I decided to take the chance but still be safe with it. He ended up meeting me at the Starbucks just a four minute walk from my hotel. He met me there at 1, but was actually early. He was dressed very nice and had a huge smile when I walked up to him. He told me he had a whole day planned for us and some back-up plans if I didn’t like some of his ideas. His first was to take a trolley ride to Old Town San Diego, which I had yet to see plus I had never been on a Trolley before. I loved that Idea and we then ventured off and talked about sooo much along the way, He showed me a bunch of his favorite music, and told me about his life growing up, etc. I enjoyed every single moment of it- even the overly crowded trolley. We then arrived to Old Town, which was totally awesome! He knows so many facts about so many things, and made the history of things so entertaining! He was so comfortable to joke around with and be myself around, it was so wonderful. He also took a few pictures of me in certain spots because he knew i’d want it for Instagram later. I didn’t even have to ask him. I do regret not getting a single picture of him or with him the whole time, only because in the beginning I felt a little weird to ask him because I wasn’t sure how he felt about pictures. He bought me my very first Churro, which was delicious! We just had an amazing time together. Then around 7, we planned to go to one of his Rugby teammates party, but we chilled in the parking lot outside of Old Town to wait for the details of this party. We then had a moment of silence after laughing about something we were talking about, and kinda just stared at eachother smiling. He then kissed me, and it was almost like a “too good to be true” kinda kiss. Eventually we decided to go to his home town and the town he lives called Chula Vista. We took a couple trolleys there and made it there at 7. We walked around his city, talking about the different places and the memories he’s had there growing up. I met his best friend’s mom, who was a total sweetheart and loved me, and told me she better be seeing me again soon. I met his cousin and their roommates, and some of his dad’s co-workers at the fire station. We then made our way to downtown Chula Vista which had a bunch of taco trucks, bars, and shops. It was so cute and everyone was so nice. We stopped in his favorite bar, and he bought us both a Corona then we headed out back to the outside. We spent the last couple hours out there just talking, laughing, showing eachother music, etc. It was then midnight and I had to get back to the hotel to get ready to go to sleep for my early flight in the morning. We ended up stopping at his and his roommates house just a couple blocks down (I know that doesn’t sound safe, but I sent my aunt the address just in case) We all ended up playing video games, eating some homemade tortillas his cousin made, and just listening to music and goofing around. I honestly didn't check my phone or anything just about the whole day, because the whole day was just too amazing and fun. He then drove me back to Gaslamp around 2am (I still didn’t feel comfortable telling him my hotel so I just walked two blocks to my hotel after) but we sat in his car for a bit and just talked about how this whole meeting eachother has felt like a movie. We laughed about it, then explained how terribly sad we are to have to say goodbye already. We both teared up a little and just enjoyed our last few moments together (hopefully not for long though). I then left and so did he. We texted all night til I fell asleep. Now here I am now, writing this Monday night. I’m home now and still felling extremely sad to have left. I’m so happy I went and had the most amazing experience I’ve ever had. We have both been texting and Snapchatting all day, since. I miss him a lot, and it’s crazy saying that considering I’ve only known him a day. But there’s definitely something special about him and I definitely believe there’s something special about the way we met. I believe everything happens for a reason, and his taking the wrong trolley and getting off on that stop that day, and me running across that same street and catching his attention, was all meant to happen. That’s why I believe there’s a special reason he was put into my life, whether or not it ends up romantically, He definitely gave me the most amazing memory I’ll ever have so far. I appreciate him and his kindness, and for just being there. I find new parts of me, I never knew existed. I’ve learned new things. I know so much I want to do now. I’ve made a new friend. Plus sooo much more. California will always hold a very special place in my heart. I definitely plan to visit San Diego again very very soon! Until then... Time to save money and just reminisce through photos and memories in my head.

In 1975 I heard there would be a Nazi rally in Balboa Park, so over my grandmother’s tears I went to make photographs. Looking back I can see the costumes have changed, but the hatred still festers. Seeing the participants at MAGA gatherings in Portland in 2018 I saw that after four decades misanthropes have updated their cameras, but not their feelings of ignorant pride. Hitler in Europe in the 1930’s, Nazis in San Diego in the ‘70’s, MAGA in America four decades later; I don’t know that our species is making progress.

Holidays in San Diego
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So many cool locations in Balboa Park to shoot and this amazing family was so lovely and patient as I was just excited to photograph them. A Holiday mini-session worked best for them with their busy schedules. You can always carve out a half-hour to capture family memories.

Kids Eat Free at Some San Diego Restaurants
A variety of restaurants and San Diego hotels are offering kids the opportunity to eat for free. Here are a few highlights.
Galaxy Taco in La Jolla Shores offers kids combos complimentary for a maximum of two kids ages 12 and under per adult. We love the tacos, which have a gourmet spin and it’s a nice place for a margarita, too.
Up to two kids ages 12 and under per paying adult also eat free at Carnitas Snack Shack Embarcadero in downtown San Diego. This is one of our favorite places to eat should you be visiting the USS Midway Museum, Maritime Museum of San Diego, or taking a San Diego Bay tour (like the Coronado Ferry, whale watching or Patriot Jet boat) departing from right here.
Kids Cruise San Diego Bay Free
San Diego Bay tours are the best things to do in San Diego for tourists but something that we residents usually don’t take advantage of enough.
 Flagship Cruises & Events is offering six free children per paid adult on all 1- and 2-hour San Diego Harbor Tours during the month of October. Plus, the adult tickets are even at a slight discount.
Kids cruise free on any daily San Diego Speed Boat Adventures Harbor Cruise that is valid with the purchase of two adult tickets. One free child per boat is eligible between October 1-31, 2019.

Families traveling across the U.S.–Mexico border can now save time and money with the Cross Border Xpress (CBX), a unique pedestrian bridge connecting the Tijuana International Airport (TIJ) with San Diego.

Kids Free October in San Diego
October is all about the kids, in San Diego. Every year, local businesses get together and offer up free admission, meals, rides and more to kids! This is the best time of year to explore San Diego with your family with more than 100 deals geared towards saving you money while maximizing your enjoyment. With a list this big, we thought we would help you by picking some of our favorite deals for this year’s Kids Free October.
1. New Children’s Museum
Tumblr media
www.facebook.com/newchildrensmuseum/
At The New Children’s Museum they “believe play and art-making promote the skills that our future leaders need: creativity, confidence, problem-solving, interpersonal skills, critical thinking, collaboration and optimism.” All of their incredibly creative exhibits fulfill that motto. This is not your normal children’s museum because of its interactive art exhibits that really allow children to use their imagination while allowing the space for creativity.
Nitty Gritty: Children 12 and under receive free entry with the full price paid admission of at least one accompanying adult. Valid for 2 children per paid adult. Does not apply to specially ticketed events, Maker Faire San Diego, special exhibitions/exhibits, field trips or group visits. Cannot be combined with any other offer or coupon.

The Birch Aquarium at Scripps sits atop the cliffs in La Jolla overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Not only do they have tanks of ocean animals both big and small, but they have a really great patio area where you can interact with the sea life called Tide Pool Plaza. Here kids (and kids at heart) can touch and explore a living tide pool filled with creatures like sea stars, sea anemones, hermit crabs, sea cucumbers, lobsters, and other organisms.  
Nitty Gritty: Children 12 and under receive free entry to the Birch Aquarium at Scripps with the full price paid admission of at least one accompanying adult. Valid for 2 children per paid adult. Does not apply to specially ticketed events, Maker Faire San Diego, special exhibitions/exhibits, field trips or group visits. Cannot be combined with any other offer or coupon.

3. San Diego Zoo and Safari Park
Tumblr media

Both the world famous San Diego Zoo and the San Diego Zoo Safari Park are must-sees when it comes to San Diego attractions. The Zoo truly lives up to its “world famous” nickname with a rare stateside exhibit of panda bears and up close and personal views of lions, elephants, giraffes, snakes, gorillas, polar bears and tons more. The Safari Park is more spread out and sometimes the animals are a little shyer, but they also get to live in spacious and lush habitats. You get to watch different kinds of animals all living together in huge enclosures, much like they would in the wild. The cool thing about this deal is that you can get in up to 10 kids free with a ticketed adult making it easy to take your kids and their friends on a fun afternoon outing. 
Nitty Gritty: Maximum 10 children free per each supervised ticketed adult at the San Diego Zoo and San Diego Zoo Safari Park. Valid for children 11 and under. Coupon not required for free kids entry.

5. Kids Eat Free: Carnitas’ Snack Shack
Tumblr media

There were lots of Kids Eat Free deals on the list but none jumped out at us quite like Carnitas’ Snack Shack Embarcadero’s offer. This restaurant is a great representation of San Diego fare, focused on fresh, local ingredients and house cured meats. You have to try the Triple Threat, a monstrously delicious sandwich with pork schnitzel, bacon, pulled pork and a pepperoncini relish. The kid's meal is a good deal too because they get either a burger or chicken fingers with fries and a drink for only $7. 
Nitty Gritty: Valid on Kid's combo only. Maximum of two kids (12 and under) per paying adult. Not valid in combination with any other offers. One-time use only. Valid at Embarcadero location only.
