San Diego Trip: Famous San Diego Zoo

We just got back from a wonderful week in beautiful San Diego. We met my family (Papa and Grammy) out there for our annual trip. We had a FABULOUS week and so much fun! We all enjoyed so many activities (I have so many posts on this trip) that included the zoo, Seaworld, Legoland, aquariams, the beach/pool and even a baseball game. We also got to spend some time with some of our good friends the Patil and Paraschos Families. It was truly an amazing week for both adults and kids. Our first major stop in San Diego was to the famous zoo. This zoo is fantastic and we all had a great time. So many incredible animals and attractions to see. We spent the first part of the day taking a double deck tour bus around the zoo and the last half of the day on foot. It was a very good day. Below are the first batch of zoo pictures. I took so many that I need another post with pictures from the children's zoo and skyride. :)

A perfect day at the San Diego zoo.

This little peacock landed right over our heads onto this little building where you buy bus tickets.

My favorite: The Koala bears.....so cute! :)

A close-up of the Jaguar that seemed to like to be close to the people that day.

Another one of our favorites: The Panda bears. This adorable little guy was just lying there eating bamboo.

Too cute!

Sam walking with Papa like such a big boy.

An attempt at a family shot, ha! :)

I love this picture of this gorilla up close to the window watching everybody. Sam was pretty scared of him, Lucas thought a close-up look was so cool.

Monkeys at play!
