San Diego Adventure #2: On January 16th, I heard nothing but whining for a good 1/2 hour when I told the kids it was time to leave the house (and their Ping Pong match) to go to a Multicultural Festival along the Martin Luther King Promenade in Downtown. I thought this was a good way to celebrate Martin Luther King Day, plus it also crossed off a boy scout requirement for Scott. None of us were quite sure what to expect, but I hoped for the best. Luck was on my side though...sunny day, found quick parking for $5, saw Native American, Chinese and Polynesian dancing (the polynesian group was the most entertaining), free tasters, crafts for Lizzie and prizes at booths, etc. In fact, the kids totally enjoyed the two hours we spent collecting/winning items and eating. They won big skittle packages from Smart and Final booth, water bottles from the Geico booth, Padre hats and jerseys from the Padre booth and more. It really pays to get there early - no lines and lots of stuff for free. We all had smiles on our faces as we left and it cost less than $20 for the parking and some international lunch. A bonus...No more whining, too!
