Sunny San Diego!

We were greeted by the warm sun when we landed. The forecasted rain is no longer a worry and we are enjoying temps in the +16 to +18 range. Megan was such a good traveller. Best money ever spent was getting her a seat of her own! No naps, but she did very well and crashed hard our first night.

We woke the next day and had breakfast in our hotel and then took our rental to the Wild Animal Park!


Megan loves animals and so Katie took her into the petting part of the Wild Life Park. There were only goats in there - but she loved them and would have stayed hours, if we let her!

We went on a tram and got up close to lots of the 'big' animals. It was just as the park opened - so the animals were active in the morning and we got to see them moving around lots. If you've never been - there aren't really any animal exhibits at this park. It's a 1,800 acre park that basically just lets the animals roam. Of course, the predators and prey are kept separate!

Megan loved the park. but was probably most impressed with the birds. Yes, just the plain run of the mill birds - seagulls and pigeons! All this way and she was content to run around the park flapping her arms chasing them! She did however give us a "cool" when she saw the Rhino and her baby...so it was worth it.

This picture gives you an idea of the open feel - really neat concept and very well done. And here's the Rhino and her new baby.

While at the park, Scott also tried out their Zip Line. He was sick when we were in Honduras a few years ago and did a zip line trip - so he didn't get to enjoy the feeling. Considering this one is the largest in the Intercontinental USA - he was pretty excited! He reached speeds of 45mph and the two zip lines kept him busy for the hour tour while Katie and Megan visited the ducks and birds - considering that Katie is afriad of birds...it says a lot!

A full day at the park and another full day planned at Sea World tomorrow - so early bed!
