Daddy, I think.
This African elephant was posing for pictures, so I thought I would take one.

There was a family day this Friday and with the President's Day on Monday, we decided to get out of the desert if only for a day. We got some tickets to the San Diego Zoo, booked a room at the Navy Lodge in San Diego and off we went. It takes about 3-4 hours to get to San Diego from here, so we left after Emily got done with school on Friday stayed the night at the Navy Lodge and first thing the next morning we were off to the zoo. The kids had a great time. We were able to see the baby giant panda, one of the highlights of the day for sure. Once we walked around and saw all that we wanted to see, we hopped on the guided bus tour to see things from a different perspective. The bus tour was included in the type of ticket we bought, so why not right. All in all a trip worth taking. If you are planning to go, the terrain if very hilly but certainly doable in a day we left at around 2:00.
