Loving San Diego

I stayed in Carlsbad, CA, (which is 10 minutes south of San Diego) last week for the first time ever. I LOVED it! I really enjoyed my visit there.I loved the little town villages along the ocean, the weather and of course the beaches:Miles and miles of gorgeous white sand beaches! Just park on the side of road and you are there:We started almost everyday with a cup of coffee on the beach= #pureheaven:I thought it was so cool that I was in RI swimming in the Atlantic Ocean and the next week I was swimming in the Pacific!I could not wait to visit the San Diego Zoo. I was not disappointed. Exhibits were beautiful, clean and had quite a variety of animals:I have never seen an elephant with tusks before.I think the birds were the prettiest because of their colors:The colors look like they were painted on the flamingos!The guy in the back was the boss. Very humanlike and in charge. There was a baby chimp too:I was really looking forward to see the Gorilla Exhibit. But it was pretty sad to me. I was not even sure if I would post a picture, but I thought you would like to see:He was trying to hide I think. Here he is close up:Lots of bears:I thought this program was great:I would love to see them working together!Last pictures of the zoo:So cute! I hope you have enjoyed. Come back tomorrow to see pictures of my day at Venice Beach. What a trip that was!Too many pictures to share.I saw this in Carlsbad Village painted on the wall:So beautiful don’t you think?Thanks everyone!
