First Destination


The San Diego Zoo!



A spectacular zoo.

We enjoyed and learned so much from our visit.

The kids had a blast!

Mommy & Daddy did too :)

I love bears and the Polar Bear was doing a sort of dance....
we were told a "mating" dance.

Looked like a Cha Cha to me :)

The Koala's were sleeping of course.....16 hours a day. That's a LOT of sleep! They were so cute in the trees all cuddled up asleep. They looked just like a stuffed animal.

Wee one wanted to see the Panda's on the "Panda Cam".

She learned that term from "Curious George".....one of her favorite shows!

The line was 2 hours.....no Panda Cam for her. She wasn't sad for too long.

We went to see the Gorilla's and the "toddler" was putting on quite a show for us! His parents didn't seem too amused! I think he got a "gorilla" time out too.

The kids got a big kick out of the "Bug and Insect" building in the kids zone.

It was actually quite interesting; although I found myself scratching and feeling as though something was crawling on me.

The "Dung Beetles" were a big hit as they were pushing around a big piece of Elephant Poop.
That itself generated a half an hour of giggles from the two.

We were told that there is so much "poop" from the Elephants that they recycle it as a form of fertilizer to farms/gardens in the area.

Lots of beautiful vegetation too! I have more pictures from the zoo, but they are on my hubby's laptop and I need to figure out how to transfer them!

Next time; picture of the beach!

Have a fabulous week.
