Vacation Part 2 - Zoo.

We spent a day at the San Diego Zoo.  We got there when it opened.  As we walked through the gates, I spotted one of the greeters and asked him if we should do the bus tour of the park first.  He was an older gentlemen and gave us all kinds of pro tips.  He recommended the bus tour in the afternoon, when we were tired.  He drew us a walking map with numbered stops.  His map took us to the large animals first.  He said all of those animals would go in for shelter after about 1pm.  we followed his instructions and got some amazing views and photos as our reward.



We took a couple stops for food and treats.  By the end of the day, Kendall's watch said we had walked over 17,000 steps (7ish miles).




Kendall was enamored with the hippos.  Fun fact - hippos do not swim.  They walk along the bottom and buoy up to the top.  They will glide, but the do not swim.

We took the gondola over the park several times.


View from the top.  You almost cannot see there is a zoo below.



















In the end, we did enjoy the bus ride.  It was a day well spent!
