In early November, I spent a week in San Diego. This was my first trip to California, and it was a great trip. I especially liked the San Diego zoo. Here are some photos from the trip:
A look at La Joya
The Gaslamp district
Listening to Glenn Close present on her new philanthropic project: bringchange2mind.org
Riding in the Sky Lift; this is the view of the zoo
An otter
Some piggies- I just thing pigs are the cutest!
Everyone loves the meerkats
Giraffes- this one is for you Kellyn!
I found this camel to be quite humorous...he had a saggy hump :-)
Koalas are adorable when they curl up to sleep
This is a snake turtle- check out how long that neck is!
2 of the 11 Panda bears in the US. This is a mamma and her baby.
There were 3 different flamingo exhibits, but this one was my favorite.
If you've never been to the San Diego zoo, it really is the best zoo ever and I recommend the visit. The exhibits are large and filled with enrichment for the animals. Not to mention the zoo is gi-normous! I spent about 7 hours there and only saw about 1/2 of the exhibits. I guess this means I will have to go back again soon to finish!
