San Diego Trip: The Zoo


 This peacock was strutting for the crowd!  Very proud and very mean...he grabbed a little duck by the fuzz on his head and shook him!
 Meeting Uncle Mike for the first time! 

 He was taking a serious nap!
 Just hanging around!
Riding the sky tram...face painted again!

I was never a fan of the zoo, from the ethical standpoint.  Then I had a child and I am now a hypocritical card carrying member of Brookfield Zoo here at home.  (Lincoln Park Zoo is free.)  The San Diego Zoo is known as one of the best in the world, so we were very much looking forward to our visit.  It's pretty amazing!  The terrain is beautiful, lots of hills in Balboa Park, and thousands of animals that look well cared for.  They offer a guided bus tour and also a sky tram ride that offers great views of the park.  The one exhibit that I regret not seeing was the koala bears!  I completely forgot and then didn't get time to return before heading home.  Patrick's brother Mike drove down from Irvine for the night and Margaux adored him!
