Did you see a starfish eating something?

I/Sooyoung/Grace’s mom did not know which food starfish eat. Today, I just know that shrimp is one of the foods that starfish eat. Google says that they feed on coral, sponges, clams, oysters, sand dollars, and mussels because these move slowly or do not move at all. Of course, starfish eat injured fish as well.

Cabrillo National Park

By Mom, Dec 14, 2024

It was the second visit to Cabrillo National Park for our family.

This year (2024-2025), we obtained a free national park pass (4th graders and their families could get a free park pass that covers national and state parks).

This time, we skipped the military history exhibit and skimmed through the lighthouse, but we made a trail to Point Loma Tide Pools through the Oceanside trail. 

If you are interested in the San Diego history, please check the ranger program first at the visitor center. You could hear about Spanish exploration and the first explorer, Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo. His three-month voyage in 1542 was the first European expedition on the West Coast of the US. 

Do not miss the visitor center, a kind of exhibition, a Cabrillo statue, the coin collection, the lighthouse, Bayside Trail, Oceanside Trail, and Tide Pools!!! 

Craftmanship Museum

By Mom, Dec 13, 2024

I searched for the nearest museum from home and found the Craftsmanship Museum. It opens from Thursday to Saturday. We (two daughters and me) dashed there after school (Friday releases early). There, we have a good time -seeing miniature dolls and doll houses, cars, boats, and lots of other things like guns, pumps, trains. We also tried some old-styled toys and 3D printed items. 😘
