Trip to the San Diego Zoo!

After the big rush of holiday portraits, I've been taking a few weeks off work pretty much. Deployment is just around the corner, and I'm trying to spend weekends with my husband as much as possible.

Last week, we went to the SD Zoo with my friend Justine, her husband Andrew, and Andrew's son, Parker. AD military members get in free, FYI - and dependents are 10% off at the gate or you can get tickets at the ITT office on base as well.

The zoo was huge, and it was great to see Parker all excited to see the animals. It definitely was a lot of walking though - although not as much walking as my husband and I did this past weekend in San Francisco. Stay tuned for an update about the "San Francisco Death March", as my husband termed it.



My favorite pictures of the animals this trip were all birds - the larger animals seemed to all be sleeping in the corners of the cages.



Oh, and the meerkat of course!



Parker loved just watching all the animals.



We also got the chance to wait in line & feed the giraffes! If you're ever at the SD Zoo, take the time to do this - it really was a lot of fun.







Parker is just too cute, haha. He was trying to look inside my lens.







Classic overstimulation, haha. One hand petting the goat, and he's already looking at what else he can do.



His dad trying to knock him off the log ;)

We had a great day, and I had a great laugh when Justine texted me a photo of Parker passed out asleep on the ride back home!
