We got our younger daughter Mollie through college, and ready to start nursing school soon.
I met this little guy.
I have seen a lot of animals…
I love the water reflections in the bottom left of that photo. So surreal.
Baby ducks!
And I saw a lot of flowers. The story isn’t that complicated. Except for a few of the pictures, these were all taken at two hotels, one near Disneyland for the graduation, and one in San Diego, where my 97-year-old-mother is staying to visit more grandchildren after seeing Mollie graduate.
So there will be three or four posts of flowers and animals, mixed with some other stuff.
And I will mix in a few weird posts, like I do. Because like that photo of turtles, ducks and fish, I like to mix things up.
To commemorate this milestone, I am going to do some posts with some audio clips from the podcast. From my most recent episode, here are two commercials selling important products that you just might be interested in…
Well, this whole crazy adventure started off at the San Diego zoo, before I even started my road trip north on Highway One and saw all that other crazy stuff.
Let me say again that if you are ever coming to San Diego, and planning on going to the world famous zoo, sign up for the animal experience thing. It is freekin’ awesome. I have been to the zoo hundreds of times, but this was a first for me.
It starts off slow. You see some really cool animals on a little stage. Fun, but not that exciting. Then, this big door slides open…
And up walks this adorable little guy.
And you get to feed him! You get rhino saliva all over your hand. My daughter Mollie is good with animals, like me, and seemed to bond with the rhino.
Or maybe he was just hungry.
Either way, if you want to see that smile on your kid’s face, you should do this.
It isn’t that expensive.
And you get to pet a zebra, and feed flamingos out of a cup while they walk all around you.
Go with someone you love.
The San Diego zoo really deserves its reputation. They are at the forefront of the breeding programs to bring back endangered species.
And they pioneered the more natural environments for the animals. No more cages with cement floors.
I think a zoo pass includes the San Diego Wild Animal Park, which is fun also. So go to the zoo and meet some animals. I did.
