Mike was able to come for a few days last week, which was great! He is a pilot and found great transportation to Charles Lindbergh field right here in downtown San Diego.
This is a good time to visit, as I am not as busy at work as I will be next year, and Angela is still in school, and at home most of the time. Since we live so centrally in the city, most sites are within a few minutes drive. We were able to hit most of the best sites vacationers like about San Diego, including our world famous zoo.
After watching Anchorman, we really wanted to see the Pandas, but had to walk past some neat exhibits first. I have been to the National Zoo in D.C. several times, but this one is immensely better. I felt like we were walking around an amusement park, but with animals everywhere.
For a fee you can take a double-decker bus around the zoo, but we decided that it wouldn’t be worth it as we could spend as much or as little time as we wanted at different sites. The Koalas were sleeping and the monkeys were sleeping, but the bears were ferocious and scary. A Grizzly Bear was taking apart some meaty pulp, and reminded Mike and I of a Family Guy episode involving President Reagan taking down a brick wall bare-handed, dubbed “Reagan Smash.”
This bear could kill you in seconds, and I hope to never see a grizzly in public. After standing in line to see a fat male panda eat, we took a sky ride over the whole park, offering views of Balboa Park and downtown. After a short but educational trip to the reptile building we checked out Balboa Park, coming across a man dressed as Indiana Jones practicing his whip routine, probably for some skit in the park’s many theaters, but he seemed odd! Balboa park is home to San Diego's museums and awesome outdoor art you can play with!
