The law firm retreat included a trip to the San Diego Zoo. Yea! We've never been. Before we left, we got a little more of Coronado Island in.
In an odd way, Coronado reminds me of Salt Lake circa 1998-ish in that there is a La Salsa and Einsteins Bagel. Both within walking distance from the hotel. I love this place!
It was a great day for the zoo, too, and not just because they were giving away free Tillamock cheese.
A famous Francis family picture of Matt & David doing a flamingo pose:
Our re-creation (I am not sure why our hands are that way).
Zack was the most excited. He loves foxes and snakes. He saw both, thanks to his excellent map skills.
The pandas were fun to watch. This guy was lounging.
Is there an animal in this picture? I have that question for many pictures that I took at the zoo.
On the Skyfari
Great views of the city and a relaxing way to get across the zoo.
We met up with the cousins to eat lunch and check out the elephants, giraffes
and rhinos.
A sighting of the independent and hard to find teenagers:
The other boys left the zoo before we had a chance to take the bus tour. Noah wasn't feeling it.... our tour guide was a little eccentric.
At least Ben could appreciate the fact that we were front row on the top of a double decker bus.
Zack was the only kid I could convince to sit in front of this giant elephant tree.
I thought the San Diego Zoo was going to be gigantic, but it wasn't too bad. We saw it all and had a great time.
