Balboa Park

We live by SO MANY great places to visit here in San Diego. We are within 5-15 min of the beach, SD Zoo, Sea World, Balboa Park, Mormon Batallion, 30 min from the Animal Park...anyway, lots of great stuff. Unfortunately, we haven't seen much of it yet. When we moved here, I was VERY pregnant and on partial bedrest so we couldn't go anywhere. Then we had twins and VERY little sleep so we didn't go anywhere. We went to the beach a couple of weeks back and had a nice walk along the boardwalk. Yesterday we went to Balboa Park. It was SUCH a beautiful day. Lots of sunshine, but not too hot. There is SO much to do there! We just walked around yesterday to get a general idea of what all is there and will have to go back to enjoy some of the actual gardens/museums. A bunch of them have one free day/week, so that will make for some great trips over the next few years. Anyway, it was fun. Maybe we will go to the Coronado Bridge tomorrow...

"Real charity is not something you give away; it is something that you acquire and make a part of yourself. Charity comes when we are kind to each other; when we don't judge someone else; when we simply give each other the benefit of the doubt or REMAIN QUIET. Charity is accepting someone's differences, weaknesses and shortcomings, having patience with someone who has let us down or resisting the impulse to become offended when someone doesn't handle something the way we might have hoped. Charity is expecting the best of each other"
(Elder Marvin J. Ashton, Conference April 1992).

"Charity is not an emotion or action. It is not something we feel or do. Charity is who the Savior is. It is his most defining characteristic. When we plead for charity, we aren't asking for lovely feelings toward someone who bugs us or has wounded us. We are actually pleading for our very natures to be changed; for our character and disposition to become more like the Savior's so that we literally feel as He would feel and thus do what He would do."
