Our Vacation

We were able to go on a three day trip to Southern California. On the flight there we met a man that was a former BYU baseball player and former Boston Red Socks catcher. Dad and he talk most of the way there. The first night we were to the Yankees, Angles game. Unfortunetly the Yankees lost. The fans were a good group. We set near a bunch of Yankee fans. So all was well.

Saturday was a trip to the San Diego Zoo.

It was hugh. We didn't get to see everything but we did enjoy what we saw. Dad kept saying we were going to see our relatives. Here are a few pictures of what we saw.

These bears were enjoying the beautiful day. We couldn't asked for better weather.

We loved the monkeys.

This one is grandpa. He acted just like him. He looked in a bag and didn't see anything in there he wanted so he throw it in a pile. Then he set back like he was in charge.

There were so many different kinds of animals.

We went to the bird show. This bird looks big but he only weighs 5 lbs.

The birds were so beautiful.

There were even a couple large averys there. They even had birds that were extinct in the wild.

The monkeys are always fun to watch. They act just like our family.

Here is Ryan.

This is was the most unusual animal we saw. It looks part zebra.

This is a hippo under water.

He was just resting and relaxing. He know how to spend the day.

I don't know why but these flamingos reminded me of my daughter-in-laws.

We also saw a water show. That is a large sea lion in the picture.

We loved the meerkats were our favorites.

They had alot of them, including some babies. They were fun to watch.

Next was a trip to look at the temple.

This was the only side that wasn't surrounded by scaffling. They were repainting and fixing a small leak. It was still very beautiful.

We ate at a lot of different places.

We had fried chicken at Knotts Berry Farm resturant. We ate steak at Claim Jumpers and breakfast at a Dinner called Norm's. But this was Dad's favorite. All they served was fish.

We went up the beaches. This was Huntington Beach. They were having a free concert. They played Jazz music. This group was from Arizonia.

Dad liked watching the surfers.

It reminded him of his teen years. For those who do not know, he had a surf board and did a lot of surfing. What do you expect when you live in Surf City, NJ.

We had a good time, but are glad to be home.

It was a nice place to visit, but we would not want to live there.
