San Diego Zoo

Bourn To Be Wild

August 5, 2014

Welcome to the wild side.

On this vacation, my family and I got to experience the best zoo in the world… the San Diego Zoo. We went with my Aunt Julie, Uncle Dustin, and my cousins Riley and Chloe to have a fun time together. I thought that this zoo was beyond amazing. The animals were so interesting and fun to look at. We saw animals like different types of monkeys and apes, flamingos, kolas, giraffes, gazelles, polar bears, and my all time favorite, the elephants. If I told you about every animal they have, this post would never end. At every animal sanctuary, I learned something new about it.

At Elephant Odyssey (the elephant habitat) there were life-size statues of them that you could take pictures with. Of course we did, but I was waiting for the real thing. There was also a really cute shrub cut to look like an elephant. I even bought 2 elephant necklaces and a mini, beaded,  elephant statue (because I have a collection)! I never wanted to leave the beautiful elephants, but eventually we had to make it to all of the other animals.

The view from the Sky Buckets was fantastic. You could see so much of the zoo from up there. Everyone got to ride them across the zoo because it is so HUGE. The zoo is about 100 acres! We also rode a bus to get around as well. I had so much fun at the zoo that day with my family. I can’t wait to go back because the zoo never gets old. When we got back to the beach house, I missed watching the animals so I got the San Diego Zoo app that has the live animal cams so you can watch the animals eat, sleep, and play. I give the San Diego Zoo a five out of five star rating!

Here are some photos from our zoo day
