Zoo Day

A couple of weeks ago, my best friend Jess and her husband Steve were in San Diego for a conference that Jess was presenting at, and since San Diego is only a couple of hours away, we couldn't miss the chance to spend a day with them while they were here.

We had SUCH. A. FUN. DAY.  I wish we could do it more often {sigh}.

We began our day at the San Diego Zoo, which by the way, is one of the most amazing zoos I've ever been too.  Or maybe I just spent to many days at the Bronx Zoo as a NYC school teacher, who knows.  Either way, I was impressed.  The zoo is well laid out, immaculately clean, lush and green, and has a huge variety of amazing animals {including pandas!!}.  They also have tons of restaurants in the zoo, of the fast food and sit down variety, where you can get a snack or grab some lunch.

Here a few shots from our day...

After the zoo, we headed over to Coronado Island to have a drink at the famous Hotel del Coronado {for all you Disney lovers, this is the hotel that the Grand Floridan is modeled after} while watching the sunset.

And, we ended the day with delicious Mexican food from Miguel's Cocina.  The perfect end to a perfect day.
