San Diego

Well we made it all back in one piece. We had a great time on our short trip south. We left Saturday morning around 9 and headed straight to the Wild Animal Park. The weather looked a little scary so we weren't sure if we were going to be able to go, but sure enough it turned out to be a beautiful day; not too hot, not too cold. You loved walking around the park checking out the different animals. We weren't there 20 minutes before we had out first real "encounter" with the animals. As we were looking at some birds in the aviary, daddy and I thought we felt rain drops...Nope. There was a nest right above us and as we looked up we saw the "tail end" of a bird. A big bird at that. Luckily it missed you, but it tagged the stroller pretty well.

We quickly left the birds and went on to see other animals. We saw all sorts of things, too many to list, but don't worry I have plenty of pictures. We went on the Safari tour and learned about all types of animals. You had a lot of fun on that ride.
After the tour we went to see the elephants, then we started to head out. You had a really fun time and I hope we can go back again, maybe when you are a little older.
After we left the park, we went to the hotel to rest. Your cousin Curt was down for a basketball game so we wanted to go support him and his team. So we hung out in the hotel for a little while, then got dressed, went to dinner and the then to UCSD for the game. You were such a good cheerleader while there. You kept screaming, "Go, Go Go.." If only they would have listened, they might have actually not blown a 13 point lead:) Oh well, you tried. After the game we picked up cousin Curt and one of his teammates and took them to get something to eat. You stayed up and played the whole time, although you were a little shy. By the time we dropped them off it was 11:45 and we headed back to the hotel. You fell asleep on the way back, woke up for a minute when I was putting on your pj's then you were out for the night. This morning we woke up around 9 and headed home. Thanks for a great weekend. You are a great travel partner. I love you.
