Day Fifteen

San Diego Zoo

Woke up rearing to seize the day! Kyle got to take us to work, bet you won’t guess where…. The one and only San Diego Zoo!!! What a treat, we even got to ride along for the VIP tour of the whole zoo, it was AMAZING! Kyle is a superb host and tour guide, funny and charming. We got to feed the Okapi, relatives of the zebra and giraffe, they feel like velvet. The remainder of the tour explored the lions, tigers, bears (oh my) elephants, exotic birds, PANDAS (even a baby hanging in a tree), koala bears, reptiles, antelopes, flamingos, insects, monkeys, gorillas, you name it we saw it!!! They have two beautiful Aviaries with winding paths lined with tall trees and loads of exotic birds flying in every direction, a bird watchers dream! Last stop was my personal favorite, we got to pet and feed a fuzzy camel named Mango. He was very fond of Mitch and gave him a loving nuzzle when he went to take a picture! The cutest thing ever! The whole experience was overwhelmingly wonderful and a definite highlight of the trip so far! After “work” we went out with Kyle, Courtney and her friends for Tuesday Taco Night, enjoyed a margarita with San Diego Fish Tacos! Check that off my bucket list! Slept like a rock from the amazingness of San Diego!!
