2022 Uncle Bob Visits The Wild Animal Park

By nowellUncategorized

Uncle Bob came from France to visit Barbara. We took him to The Wild Animal Park to see if his tush would fall off after walking 4+ miles. It didn’t, but mine should have. It was Barbara’s fault. She walks every day and I don’t. However, a good time was had by all.

Since he was still ambulatory we took him to Balboa Park to The Mingei Museum and The Japanese Friendship Garden. Here is the proof:
