There's always the San Diego Zoo. It is world famous after all. If you feel brave you could head down to TJ.

You're the first person to actually suggest TJ in a positive light! Everybody else gets wide-eyed and says no. And yes, there is the zoo.

I had a friend that worked at the Omaha zoo who told me that if I ever went to San Diego and didn't go to the zoo she would bludgeon me to death with her camera.

I hear it's pretty good.

If you do go to TJ, make sure you have a passport. It's not like the old days, they won't let you back in the country without one.

Ok as a native let me tell you this: The zoo has piggies. :D

...I think.

They're probably boars.

We went to the beaches in Coronado and La Jolla. Saw some sea lions on the sand. We've also been to some fine eating and looked around Old Town. I think tonight is Gas Lamp District.

I kind of indulged with the rental car. Its a convertable Mustang.

I saw the naval air base from the freeway on the way back from Coronado. I could barely make myself stop looking! It was hard to get a good look while I was driving. very impressive though.

We're wearing t-shirts and shorts in January. Its a bit of a change from Seattle. :D

I've been back awhile, but I got food poisoning pretty bad from fish tacos. I missed the penguins. Sorry. But, it is snowing where I live for some reason.
