You stay classy San Diego

Andrew had Friday off a week ago so we took advantage and took a short drive over to San Diego.  We drove straight to the zoo for some animal fun.
Ok really, can you get any more cute than this? I don't think so.

 And don't forget the Elephants! I love them-so very much.  Seriously, ever since I visited them in Africa I think they are the coolest. Ever.

And when you get tired, you can lay your head down on your own butt. 


But our favorites of the zoo, were the monkeys and the orangutans. They were hilarious!
 It first started with the monkey's.  This little baby hit it's mom in the head and then ran away.  When she tried to escape, he chased after her and wouldn't leave her alone.


 The burlap sac
I don't know why but all the orangutans wanted this burlap sac, but they did

 They would steal it from each other- one monkey in particular was so fun to watch.  He just harassed the other animals. Swinging on the ropes and rolling in the grass.  I seriously could have watched him all day.  I tried to get some video of it but it just doesn't do him justice.








If you have ever been to the San Diego zoo, it's enormous.  And it's on a big hill.  So to get back up the hill, you ride the moving walkways! Genius!














  
We got to the zoo a little late so we only had a few hours.  We practically ran through it but managed to see almost everything.  The weather was perfect and we had a blast.  I highly recommend to those of you who haven't been.

You got some really awesome pictures! And you both look great in them too! I'm still a little sad that we couldn't do San Diego, but maybe if/when we move down there we can do a trip together?
