San Diego!

Took a long weekend trip to San Diego to visit Uncle Joe and Aunt Netty!

Biked around Coronado - we had beautiful weather!
 
 
 
 
DinDin in Little Italy
 Visited the old jail at Seaport!
  LEGOLAND!! 
It was awesome. Kids were the perfect age for the rides and all the Lego set ups were AMAZING!

 All these displays are made of Legos, it was incredible!
 
 
 
 
 
 Chewbaca!
 had to get their drivers license!
 
 
 G crashed hard on the way home, snoring away!
 You can see all the fun ships from the balconies - a Disney cruise ship was there too!
 Safari Park!! We decided to do the Safari park instead of the zoo since we did that the last time we were in SD. It was awesome - the pictures don't do it justice! 
The main mission of the park is to end extinction and they are doing a damn good job at it!
 Gorilla mamas and their babies
 Mansolillo Gorillas :)
 
 
 
 got to feed the birds nectar!
 the view of the Savanna
 Jack chillin with the Lions
 
 the Safari tram
 
 look closely at the baby Giraffe!
 Tiger enjoying his femur bone
 
 of course they find the fart book, lol!
CHEETAH!
I came around the corner to go to the bathroom and this Cheetah was just chillin with it's trainer. Super cool to see out of it's exhibit.
BATS!
 
 

 back on the safari tram for another ride!
 

 waiting for the Cheetah run!
 La Jolla! It was goregous but super smelly!!
 
 
 Gliderport in Torrey Pines
 Ready for a swim!
 
 
 
 they could not get enough of watching the firetrucks from the balconies!
 closer shot with the Disney cruise ship!
 Lots of San Diego history
 
 
 
 a stop for mama and daddy at the brewery!
 
 onto Point Loma and the tidepools 
(too bad it was high tide and we didn't get to explore the tide pools)
 amazed at how many vets are laid to rest in SD...
 Dinner at Stone....so good!
 
   Thanks Uncle Joe and Aunt Netty for hosting us! We love you!

It was actually freezing on the day but they were troopers and went in anyway!
