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.

So Jealous!! I LOVE the San Diego Zoo! Best I've been to ever!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures!! Your action shot was awesome...also loved the elephant's eye. But, I'm partial to elephants!! Enjoy the rest of San Diego!
this was fun to see. Love the monkeys varied colors, great action shot, I thought you took a picture of a picture! The bluebird was breathtaking, but my fav has gotta be the Panda.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos, both at the zoo and at the restaurants. Avocado is one of my favourites as well. I had some for supper. Hopefully one day I'll get to see what it's supposed to taste like. There are drawbacks to living in a colder climate...
