San Diego and the Zoo

We absolutely love San Diego--what a wonderful city with so much to do! We started out with a visit to Seaport Village for shopping and dinner. A great way to start our week here in Southern California
Sydney's got the poses down, she loves to have her picture taken and i've got a ton of great pictures of this beautiful smiling girl
She had to check out every single hammock swing in this one store...might just have to consider getting one of these with this great smile
Best zoo in the USA! My favorite zoo being the Sydney Australia zoo...but this is definitely one of the best zoos with a wide variety of animals
Sydney and the koalas...in "Sydney's store". all kinds of cute australia merchandise but couldn't resist this picture with all the koalas

Enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Sydney's Grill and Hangout!
And here he is--one of the 3 koalas on display since they are building a whole new Australia exhibit to open next year with lots more koalas and other Australian animals. Will just have to go back and visit them again...
So excited to show my girls a real koala
Sydney loves pandas as much as I do!


At the San Diego Zoo Wild Animal Park-about 1/2 hr from downtown with lots of great animals and a ton of space. Enjoyed a safari ride, seeing the gorillas, a couple of shows and hike at this impressive zoo. wish it wasn't so hot the day we were there...
getting up close and personal with a lion...
and the real thing...
and playing in a kids area with a model lion
Safari Sydney


panoramic view of the safari. can't wait to come back one day and do the zip line tour over the safari and the roar & snore program here


since going to the "elephant bar" restaurant, olivia loves elephants and got so excited to see them. i think its her favorite animal (for now...-she'll revert back to koalas/pandas once i show her more of them)
