Spring Breakdown Bored at home and can’t think of anything to do? Try one of our fun suggestions to liven up your day! Story by Joleyne Lambert and Austin Kasselmann Round up your friends adventurous enough to venture out on an excursion to an oasis at Cedar Creek Falls. (For more information see Kelsey Navis’s article on page 18.) Drive on down to Balboa Park and spend a day lounging in the beautiful gardens. Or if you’re a fan of action, peruse the museums and exhibits for the day. There’s a lot to do in Balboa Park, guaranteeing you a day free of boredom. The V Elements Festival will take place at Liberty Station, downtown, (if you don’t know where it is, put it in the Googs) on April 6. Swing by for a day filled with yoga and great music and then stay for the concert at night which will be filled with local and national artists such as The Grouch and Eligh, David Starfire Music, Mikey Lion, and Michael Mannino. Tickets are on sale now! Spend a day visiting the underwater world at the Birch Aquarium in La Jolla. You will be fascinated as you make your way through the variety of exhibits filled with colorful and bizarre creatures. The captivating aquarium is open from 9a.m.5p.m. Admission for those 17 and under is $9.50.
Pick a sunny day to throw on a white t-shirt and shorts, (that you can stain with color.) Then fill up buckets of water balloons. But, before you tie each water balloon closed, add a couple drops of food coloring. Then round your friends up for a colorful water balloon fight and a “new” pair of clothes. Visit the pristine waters of La Jolla…in a kayak! Either bring your own or rent one from a nearby shop. Set out through the beach waves and befriend the quirky seals splashing through the water, then paddle on towards the extravagant caves for an eerie excursion.
