Can I say again how much I love California? This is the Pacific Coast Highway...often seen in car commercials and other things. Why have winter, when you can see this every day?
The first day in San Diego we went to the famous San Diego Zoo. Which was awesome, but had too many species of rare pig, neither shown above. This is a picture of Dave staring down the statue of an ape.
Dave smothering his mom. They were twins the day we went to the zoo. I like her a lot!
Panda!!! This was the baby panda that was born in the zoo a few years ago, there was also a male panda, but the older female might be pregnant, so she was inside. :)
These polar bears were so funny. They completely destroyed a little plastic pool and then....
Awesome white sand beach on the island Coronado, the next stop on our trip.
This is the Hotel de Coronado, a spectacular hotel on the island of Coronado right off of San Diego. We went there for breakfast, because who can actually afford those rooms anyway. They are like $900 a night or something silly like that.
Yay! I'm cute! We went to the historic part of San Diego with old spanish missons and other such old things. They had funny hats and AMAZING mexican food. Yum.
Dave in the gift shop at Old Town, he says that he looks like one of those Day of the Dead skulls.
This is a shot of one of the several beautiful building in Balboa Park in San Diego, they were built to celebrate the opening of the Panama Canal in 1916. Now they are all musuems, art, anthropology, and more art. :)
A little off center shot of the front of the Museum of Man, see below shot, too!
This awesome tower and domed building are part of the Museum of Man, an Antropology museum. Inside is stuff on ancient Maya, Egypt, human evolution, and current evolution. Right up my alley, science and history.
This is the Aerospace Museum in Balboa Park (San Diego again). Inside there was Apollo 9, and lots of other space stuff and planes.
Another shot of the ocean from a REALLY steep hill in San Diego!
This is the beautiful sunset on a beautiful trip to Southern California. There is so much there to do, and I will have to go back there sometime to get everything done!
