We went to the zoo today. It was crowded. It is the Sunday of the 4th of July weekend. Yeah, going to the zoo was a GREAT idea. I'm not a huge fan of crowds, but they know how to "do zoo" in San Diego. This is something you must do if you visit paradise. I was here 21 years ago. I was pushing a stroller and toting a diaper bag. This time my hubby and I walked hand in hand and smiled at babies in strollers and in line for events. Those babies are so cute when they belong to someone else. :)
I took a few pictures and my goal is to share pics with you all.
