A Day at the San Diego Zoo

We decided it was time to re-visit the San Diego Zoo. A good idea but we forgot that it was summer and the Zoo would be full of visitors from all over the world. We heard many different languages lots of kids. They ranged from little ones sleeping their way through the zoo in strollers to teenagers who would soooo obviously rather be somewhere else. There were grandmas and grandpas, moms and dads, aunts and uncles and I'm sure just a few very good friends! And then there was the four of us wandering through the zoo with no kids wondering why we did this in August? San Diego was in the 80s and quite humid. It wasn't so pleasant. Living where we do, about 60 miles east of the coast, we have very low humidity. If we have 30% humidity, we all walk around complaining how humid it is. When I think back to the years I spend in New Jersey where we would have bouts of humidity in the 90% range I almost feel guilty about complaining about 30%. But we had fun looking at the animals and we had a nice lunch at Albert's Restaurant at the zoo. It is named after the first gorilla they had, I think. But I might be wrong on that. I will have to do some research.

I call these three "The Big Guys!"

We saw some birds

And of course there were Monkeys!
