After all, things change, so do cities. People come into your life and they go. But it's comforting to know that the ones you love are always in your heart...and if you're very lucky, a plane ride away.

Mom's birthday trip: Day 2



 What beautiful weather we lucked out with! It has been perfect for our guests!

Today, we started out the day by going to the zoo. 

I am so happy that we did the double decker bus tour. We saved a lot of time and energy and learned some really cool zoo facts. Did you know that the producers of The Lion King came to the San Diego zoo to study the warthogs and meerkats? They wanted Timon and Pumbaa to look as realistic as possible. How cool! 
Skyfari air tram. 

Spidey.

Fun with face painting- spiderman and a fairy princess


One of my new favorite animals-the Red Panda! Very cute!



Waiting patiently to see the Pandas. 

Still my favorite :)

After the zoo, we took a ferry from downtown San Diego to Coronado. 



The kids LOVING the beach.

Hotel Del.

Really neat with the 4th of July decorations.

For dinner, we ate at a great Mexican place called Coastal Azul. It was neat because on the way home, half the group took the ferry home and half the group drove home in Drew's car. At the exact time we left, fireworks started going off! So we were able to watch them while driving over the Coronado Bridge and the others saw them from the ferry boat!
