San Diego Zoo

On our way to the zoo we visited the Marine Recruit Museum which was very interesting. Our day at the San Diego Zoo was awesome! It is just amazing to me all the animals that God created for us to enjoy. I saw so many animals that I had never seen before and alot of the old favorites as well. This zoo is the largest zoo in the world and very well landscaped to the animals natural habitats. We decided to have lunch at the zoo, to just split a veggie wrap. We opted to get diet cokes instead of our usual water. $7.98 for 2 regular diet cokes!!!!! We won't be doing that again. After a day at the zoo we had a leisurely drive to Dana Point our next stop. We decided to drive up the coastline. It was beautiful!!! We stopped at a hole in the wall Harbor Cafe and had delicious fish and chips.(Samuel, you would hae loved the hot fries) When we arrived @ Dana Point the hotel welcome was very friendly and again we were greeted with hot chocolate chip cookies!! Our room had an ocean front view(see photo below to see if you agree). This morning we worked out in the fitness room before having a leisurely breakfast compliments of Double Tree. We arrived in Santa Monica around 12:00 and scheduled a LA/Hollywood tour. See pictures below for the day. We ended the day @ Yankee Doodle's to watch the Tennesse girls win their 8th National Championship under the leadership of Coach Pat Head Summitt. We ended the day with another nice warm chocolate chip cookie.
