We hit the road again for San Diego to visit Kevin and do some sight seeing. We visited friends in Ramona and spent a great afternoon with them. We also did the wild animal park.
The wild animal park is affiliated with the world famous San Diego zoo and resides on 1800 acres near Poway outside San Diego. Animals are kept in a environment as close to their native habitat as possible. Here a Giraffe roams with Antelope (can't remember the name so we'll call them Antelope)
The Elephants were the most interesting. In every zoo I have been to the Elephants just stand there and eat. Here they were playing together as a family. The smaller young Elephants were pushing each other as young children will do while mom stood by and made sure nothing got out of hand.
Look who I found at the Flamingo pond! Yup... that's the little guy and Mom. The wild animal park facility is a breeding habitat for endangered species doing leading edge work to preserve the population of the worlds wild animals.
At the Gorilla habitat we found this mural of a Gorilla with size indicated.... just had to have a picture of this.
And..... just had to have Kevin stand in front of it. We're going to give him a Gorilla name since he seems to have the right size.
Back at the trailer..... our own wild animal was resting from a hard day of resting. By the time we roamed most of the 1800 acres we felt like he looks.... kinda pooped! What a great way to spend the day.... and rest was required.
After three days of non-stop fun we headed for Pismo Beach and some quiet time. We drove up to Morro bay and spent some time on the beach and had some great clam chowder at a local spot on the beach. Another great trip in the books.... looking forward to the next one.
