Wednesday 1/30/08 San Diego Zoo

Howdy Y'all,



On Wednesday morning David and I headed out to the San Diego Zoo. I was really looking forward to this adventure, because I was going to see my beloved Panda's!!!!

When we arrived, the zoo was just opening up for the day. There were a few school buses their with kids getting ready to check out the zoo.

Once inside we made our way around to all of the exhibits. We stopped to have a quick bite to eat at one of the many stands through out the zoo and we also went to the gift shop where I got a sterling silver panda for my ankle bracelet. We then went to one of the many shows offered at the zoo. To finish off our visit we took a tram ride around the zoo to get one more final look around. It was about 3pm when we left and heading back for downtown.

Once back in downtown San Diego we visited the Historic Gas Lamp Section. It was nice to see some of the old buildings and park areas. We were strolling along and getting hungry...LOL...we came across the Whiskey Girl and decided to have dinner there. The food and atmosphere were wonderful.

After dinner we decided we were not ready to head back to the motel yet...so we walked around town. The city is very busy and "colorful" at night! We came to a very interesting place and decided to check it out. It was called Dick's Last Resort. This is a very wild place !!!! LOL It would not have been a place I would normally frequent...but I am glad I checked it out.....They are a little too crazy in there for me....which is saying a lot....cause I am crazy myself!!!! LOL But I tend to be on the quiet side of crazy this place was hopping...in many ways!!!!! LOL After a couple of drinks and about a hour of people watching we were off again..... Our next stop was at a tavern called Maloney's. This was a quiet pub type bar. Mostly young college age kids in here...with a few of us older types!!!! LOL We stayed for a drink then decided that we would head back to the motel...we had another long day coming up......

Please check out the zoo pictures- I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I had taking them!! Until next time- take care everyone!!!!- Love Donna
