San Diego - Day 3

On our third day in San Diego, we were still struggling with the time change - waking up at 6am.  To save money, I packed breakfast foods for us to eat in the hotel room.  Here are the girls eating breakfast.
Then things got a little bit silly.  Lily's in a phase of wanting to make silly faces whenever we want to take a picture of her.  Claire is picking up on this too.  I think they get it from their dad!



 Since we had a few hours before the zoo opened, we decided to try swimming first thing in the morning.  The pools at our hotel were heated, however in the morning they were at their coldest!  We ended up letting the girls swim in the bathtub instead.  They are so cute in their Minnie Mouse swimsuits.  Lily told me the ruffle on hers helped her to swim better.
 Here are some shots from the zoo.
 
It was cute to see the giraffes all eating together.  One of them was pregnant and "due any day".  I actually saw the baby giraffe in her tummy kick.  Weird!

 The koalas were actually awake when we were there.  Rare considering they sleep most of the time.
 Here's a monkey that sucks her fingers just like Claire.  Claire loves monkeys and its one of the few animal sounds she can make.
At the end of the day we visited the petting zoo.  Claire wanted to touch every single goat and Lily kept scooping up grass and feeding it to the animals.

The zoo was awesome and HUGE.  We couldn't see everything so we knew we'd be coming back.

  1. Ah, that's take's me back to our honeymoon there in San Diego... You're right there's no way to do it in one day- even without kids!

    We just went to the San Antonio Sea World yesterday. Our Dottie liked getting splashed by Shamu, but Elliot started crying straight away.

    Congrats again on the great news about Seattle!
