Mission Trails Park
San Diego has had some bad weather lately - wind, rain, flooding, etc. And tonight another storm is coming through. I don't mind the rain but I immediately start thinking about summer when it happens. Looking through this past summer's photos I came across these from an early morning walk through Mission Trails with Alex and Charlie. This summer I worked 4 days a week taking every Friday off and one of the plans was to take an early morning walk every week. The plan lasted for one week only but it was a lot of fun.
Mission Trails Park is one of the largest urban parks in the US. It has hiking, boating, camping, rock climbing, and a really interesting Visitor and Interpretive Center.
The Visitor and Interpretive Center offers a fabulous opportunity to learn about the history, inhabitants, plants, and wildlife of the area. It shows 4 videos throughout the day in the 94-seat theater.
Talking about wildlife, here's Charlie showing off his tan and balancing skills.
Early on the walk we came across these climbers taking advantage of the cool morning. During the summer months it can get incredibly hot in the park so always make sure you have plenty of water with you.
The goal of the day was to walk to the Old Mission Dam. It was a fairly flat walk and on a paved roadway making for an easy first-time walk in the park. We arrived at the park around 7:30am to beat the mid-day sun. The Dam is a cool, relaxing end to the long walk - we just wished we didn't have to walk all the way back.

Little Charlie grew up. He towers over me and doesn't let me forget it.
