Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!!
Breakfast room was busy this morning. Then kels said Ya cause its the weekend. I've lost track of my days. Yup I'm officially on vacation brain.
We've discovered down here that sun on top of sun on top of sun produces sunburns. Specifically farms tans LOL. Oh we are sun screening it up in the mornings but that afternoon sun sure gets hot! I've been taking the sun screen in my travel purse to the parks so we reapply in the afternoons. So much for my porcelain skin *sigh* (hahaha ha so on a side note we ran into a pushy sales kiosk girl in Vegas who tried to sell me "top of the line skin care products" and wanted to use me as an in in Calgary so all my friends would buy through me. Boy did she not know who she's dealing with! I don't used that stuff in anyway shape or form. I subscribe to the au natural boutique - ie this is what nature gave me so this is what I present to the world. Then she tried to spin it don't you want to get rid of those crows feet or laugh lines? I told her I was proud of every one of those and earned them all. Haha haha ah the mentality in Vegas. Needless to say she didn't make a sale outta me. Poor girl she picked the wrong girl)
Anyways back to today. When we got to the zoo we got on a double decker bus (on the top of course) and did a tour of the complete ground before deciding where to go. It was a very informative tour and we found out there are quite a few babies that have been born at this zoo. Once the bus tour ended we set off to explore. I got out my umbrella and trailed along behind kels who brought the big camera today. He got some lovely pics of the animals. I really love zoos. I don't really love the giant strollers people cart along and don't watch where they are going and run over feet. But seeing the animals out and about and their behaviors is pretty awesome.
After the zoo we headed over the Coronado bridge.
Then we decided to have some real Mexican food. We hit up a place called Oscars and the ONLY regret I have but eating there is I didn't order enough!!!! I got a surf and turf taco and the flavors were amazing. Corn taco shell and there was a green sauce and a red sauce. The green sauce was great when you first tasted it then the jalapeño after bite kicked in. Seriously my mouth was burning something fierce after I finished that taco. But the flavors before the burn were fantastic. I would go back.
We headed back to Oceanside for our last night here and went down to the water to watch the sun set and walk along the beach. There was a really long big pier and we walked to the end and back again watching the sun set. I get it mom. I get why you love the ocean so much. The sound of the waves crashing and watching them tonight...Ya I get it :D
Back to our room and packed. We check out of here tomorrow. But our trip isn't done! Oh no not by a long shot.
Up next: Six Flags and driving up to stay in Monterey Bay.
Signing off...
The zoo pictures are fabulous!
