From my previous post about going to Balboa Park during Free Tuesdays, my friend Sam and I decided to make an adventure to spend the rest of yesterday’s afternoon at the park. We managed to check out 1 out of the 4 museums that offered free admission since we wanted to watch a couple of showings (The Ultimate Wave Tahiti 3D and Hubble 3D in IMAX). Additionally, I wanted to take my Canon SLR camera out for some fun.

The Bea Evenson Fountain is located on the north side of the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center. Visitors like to dip their feet in the water to cool off during hot weather.
