DAY FIFTEEN

SAN DIEGO ZOO

Today we got to go to the San Diego Zoo! We, along with Lily’s family drove about 40 minutes to get down there. 

The parking lot was packed, but once we found a spot we entered to see the Flamingo Lagoon! 

We grabbed some (overpriced of course) snacks, and started along the Hippo Trail and started seeing all of the monkeys.  The San Diego Zoo is cool, because instead of feeling like you’re walking around a theme park, it’s more like actually being out in the wild. The trails are multi level and surrounded by interesting trees and flora. 

We kind of got stuck on the left side of the zoo, where most of the monkeys, hippos, tigers, and birds were, and couldn’t figure out how to get to the other side. After stopping to eat lunch, we went back to the front of the park and started walking over towards the Elephants. 

Overkill for the zoo?

We saw the weirdest looking camel I’ve even seen, and finally made it over to the elephants. It was nice to see them especially since Philly doesn’t have any anymore! 

After walking around more, we took the Skyfari ride back to the front of the park, spent some time in the gift shop, and then rode back home. We got some bbq from a famous place and spent the rest of the night playing and relaxing!
