San Diego Zoo day!!! Ty and I were super excited for this day, we had heard so many good things about the zoo. Growing up only going to Hogle Zoo has been great, but it does not even compare to what San Diego zoo has to offer. It was so cool to see all the many types of animals they have.
One of the things we loved about the zoo was all the different ways to get around the park. We started off by taking a bus tour that takes you all over and you can see about 80% of the animals. It was a good way to start so that we could get an idea of where everything was. The zoo also had a sky tram that took you from one end of the park to the other making it easy for us to hurry over to the polar bears one more time to catch one swimming! And finally the had an escalator type thing that would take you up to the hill to the top of the jungle section of the zoo.
Like I mentioned above, we were able to see a polar bear swimming! It was probably one of the coolest things I've seen in my life.
We also got to see TWO hippos swimming. Anyone who knows Hogle Zoo knows that the hippo there just sits. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw them swimming, it was so cool!
We also saw a sea otter playing with a monkey. The otter kept trying to pull the monkey's tail, and the monkey would just shove it back in the water. It was quite entertaining to watch.
I officially love this zoo. It was the perfect day to go and the animals were all so active. Here's just a few more pictures of the animals we saw. Oh, and the picture of the squirrel? Tyler was really that close to it, it was not the least bit afraid of him.
After we finished looking at everything at the zoo we headed to P.F. Changs for some dinner (thanks to Jake and Haley for the gift card!). We found a sweet mall and saw The Raven at the movies. It was a nice relaxing night after a long day at the zoo.
