San Diego

We took a little vacation to San Diego and L.A. to visit Nick's grandparents and his uncle and aunt, Craig and Darlene. We had a great time with them; it was the first time I've been able to spend some considerable time with them, which was neat. We went to some of the places that Nick has fond memories of, like a neat spaghetti place that has been around for years. Unfortunately, I didn't have the camera on me for any of the time we spent together, so SORRY, no pics of Nick's family! :(

Part of our trip included the San Diego Zoo. It is an awesome place to visit for ALL ages! We loved each exhibit, but I think the kids' loved the people movers the best. These paths take you all the way up the hill, switch-back style, for about six times the distance you see in the picture. It was a fun feature to get you from one point to the other.


It may be hard to see, but immediately behind the kids is a sleeping lion. The exhibits here are designed in such a way that you always see the animals up-close.



Kaden had to get a quick touch, then ran for it, thinking the goat would chase him. Pretty cute.

Again, too cute!

We loved the trams. They gave us a quick glimpse at every area of the park. FUN TRIP!
