On Monday we went to the world-famous San Diego Zoo! This was a first zoo trip for the little ones and the first trip in many years for the rest of us. We had a good time. That place sure is hilly, but some genius had the foresight to install huge, multi level escalators to help navigate the uphills. In fact, they were called "escalators," but there were no actual steps to them. Just a ramp, which lent itself to repeated "surfing" attempts! Too cute. The hippos (pygmy and full sized) were a hit, as were the polar bears. The polar exhibit was extra fun since they had a lot more interactive parts... tunnels to crawl through, "icebergs" to poke your head out of, full-scale polar bears to climb, etc. Emma also got a stuffed polar bear here since she had been in love with the one TJ chose at Sea World earlier in the weekend. In fact, she wanted to take a nap with her new pristine white bear as soon as she got it but I didn't want it falling out of the stroller & getting filthy. You can see our compromise... I wrapped the bear in a shopping bag and she knocked out clutching the whole thing. :) No surprise here, but the elephants, giraffes, and rhinoceros were also highlights. I think they are perennial favorites when kids visit the zoo...
