The California Adventure – Part 3, the Final Chapter

Well…it’s our last night

We had another great day today.  Went to the San Diego Zoo this afternoon and spent the day with birds, bears, giraffes, elephants and pandas.  Mia loved it.  She’s definitely getting more into her walking and demanded for much of the day to go cruising in her Pumas instead of her stroller.  She got to feed the giraffe but I think she thought he was going to wrap his tongue around her along with the biscuit I was holding so we didn’t overstay our welcome at the Giraffe House.  By far, the coolest part was the Pandas.  Well worth the wait.  After the zoo, we parked downtown in the Gaslamp Quarter and did a little shopping at Horton Plaza then headed back to Old Town for another round of Mexican food at the Coyote Cafe.  Our choices were Mexican, Mexican and Mexican, so we chose Mexican (but funny…Mia was still able to find French Fries).  After stuffing ourselves, we headed back to our hotel and finished off the trip with a night on the beach making s’mores in our fire pit on the beach.  The weather was great all day and it was a nice way to finish off the trip.  We’re sad to be leaving tomorrow, but it’ll be nice to get home and get Spring started.  We’re definitely coming back though – one of the best vacations ever!

In the immortal words of Ron Burgundy, “You Stay Classy, San Diego”

Hello zoo! We're about to add another monkey to the joint!

One for the giraffe, one for Mia, one for the giraffe, one for Mia...

Panda Express or the San Diego Zoo? You decide!

Panda-monium.

In captivity: the elusive Baby Mia.

Back to the beach! Some more S'mores, please.
