On our last full day in San Diego we headed to the world famous San Diego Zoo! Looking back, I would have to say that this was probably my favourite part of our trip! Other than shopping at Target, of course Ha!
We have taken Sophia to our local zoo, and to the Jungle Island zoo in Florida last summer, but neither of those compared to the San Diego Zoo. IT WAS INCREDIBLE!! We spent almost 5 hours there and we still didn't get a chance to see it all. It is HUGE! And has SO much to see. We will definitely be going back next time we are in San Diego!!
Our family at the zoo entrance!
A tad blurry!
Getting ready for our fun day at the zoo!
Planning out where we wanted to go first!
We saw LOTS of birds!!
Penguins!
Flamingos!
Then we went to the monkey area!
Sophia had just started walking independently the day before so she was insistent about walk around the zoo to check things out!
Clearly the animals were more interesting than my selfie...
Tigers!
The hippo!
Damian and Sophia hanging out by the hippo tank!
The whole zoo was like a big jungle. It was so neat!
Grizzly bear!
Sophia liked watching the grizzly in the water!
We stopped for lunch and then some ice cream!
Then off to see the giraffes!
Cutest little baby giraffe!
And a DONKEY named Sophia...ugh ha ha
There's little donkey Sophia!
And we saw a rhinoceros! He was HUGE!!
The koalas were definitely my favourite!
I just wanted to pluck one out of the tree and cuddle it!!
Right after the Koalas, Sophia fell asleep for about 30 minutes!
Poor girl was ttttired!
Vultures!
Me and the camel!
They had a HUGE elephant sanctuary with 5 elephants!
Then we saw the lions!
Ew!
On the move!
Sleepy lion!
I LOVE polar bears so I was excited for this part of the zoo!
Damian made me crawl in there for a picture!
And then I almost got stuck ha ha
The polar bear was hiding in the shade!
Then we saw the reindeer!
And the zebra!
Selfie time!
And our last stop for the day was the Panda exhibit!
We saved it for last as it was VERY busy to get into!
The panda's were hiding in the very back so it was hard to see them to get a picture.
But it was still really neat to see!
And that was our zoo day!!
It was incredible to see so many amazing animals that we had never seen in real life before!!
It was a wonderful end to our San Diego holiday!
