[April 22] Zoo

The Choob was out of school so we thought a trip to the Zoo would be fun.  Everyone in San Diego thought the same thing too. It was good Friday and Earth Day and Easter Weekend so there was not a single spot in the entire parking lot.  

Rather than turn around and head home, I drove to the exit of the zoo and asked some guy if he was leaving and if I could please follow him to his parking spot.  

No shame.  

While he was walking the half mile to his spot, about three or four cars also asked him the same thing but I had dibs allready.  I have never seen the zoo that busy in all my 30 years!

While most of the excitment at the zoo is found in the playground and the nachos/chili dogs, we did see a few other cool things:

1.  The snow leopard spraying the entrance to his cave.

We have been to the zoo so many times we know how to avoid all the hills and still see all the animals.  Upon realizing my double stroller wouldn't fit up the escalator, we began the steep trek UP Bear Canyon which we NEVER do.  It led us to some other cool things:

2.  Grizzly bears swimming!

All in all a fun Good Easter Friday-Earth Day!
