San Diego Zoo to Sacramento

Today we spent another day in San Diego by visiting Balboa Park. We saw many animals at the San Diego Zoo, and we also went to an automotive museum. We ate a nice dinner in the park then spent a few minutes at a concert with the Navy band. We then went back to the zoo to finish our Balboa Park experience. Here are each person's favorite animals of the day:

I got to see some rattle snakes, and I liked the poison dart frogs. I liked the flamingos, too. I liked the jaguar, the king cobra, and the elephant.

I liked everything, but my favorites were the capybaras, frogs, wallabys and koalas. The birds and the monkeys were fun too.
Rylee.

I liked the gorillas and the sky tram that took us over the whole zoo. The Wombat was neat, too, and so were the monkeys.
Trevor.

I liked the polar bear. The meerkat that played dead was also cool.

The San Diego Zoo is huge, and very well done. No wonder it's world famous. We spent all day there and could have easily spent another. All the kids had a great time, as did Ann and me. Yesterday we left San Diego early and arrived in Sacramento late.

San Diego's Balboa Park houses the Zoo. Other than the zoo, we visited the Automobile Museum and saw a concert by the Navy Band, both in beautiful buildings in the park. The zoo is so full of wonders, a reminder of God's creativity and man's responsibility. My favorites were the tortoises, the koalas, the ants, and the pandas. The best, though, had to be the polar bear who was swimming a foot in front of us playing with his ball. Awesome.

  1. Where have you been? It is almost July 4th. How was the train ride to Sacramento? Did you rent bikes and ride the awesome bike path along the American River? How about "Old Town" and the Railroad Museum? I know you will really miss the 1 block bike parade here in Valdez and the garage sale at the Craigs but don't worry about us, we will have a real good time. Have fun. We miss you. dan and nancy
