Gaslamp District/Coronado Island

The next day after the zoo we headed to the famous Gaslamp District. I've never been so I was pleasantly surprised. There were tons of old buildings. I'm a sucker for old architecture! The city is so trendy, lots of people walking their dogs and going out to lunch.

This building was called "Wyatt Earp's Saloon". So awesome!

These buildings are great! I wanted to explore them!

An old historic house now a museum. So pretty!

They made a statue of this dog "Bobby" a terrier who was a vigil over his owners burial for 14 years! He's special!

Her store was there! Way to go Gordana! Cute stuff by the way.

Dave taking a peek!

Coronado Hotel. Nice with a hint of creepiness!!

See any ghosts?

Every room is so special, I don't think I'd want to be a guest though. I'm such a scardy cat.

One last shot...San Diego definately has a place in my heart!

Birthday getaway

 

For my birthday Dave and I went to visit the San Diego Wild Animal Park. It was such a nice day, perfect weather!

1st stop, the Aviary!

Lots of strange and exotic birds!

There was a great big pond there with lots of neat birds.

Of course there were some pretty flamingos!

Next stop, Gorillas! Aww...so much like us. LOL! This one was a female. The male came out of his cave for a minute. He was HUGE!

Pretty flowers on the grounds!

Some of the paths were so cool you just wanted to walk through them.

We saw a show called "Frequent Flyers" they showed some birds like this owl.

and this HUGE Condor!

Saw some monkeys, they're so darn cute!

And those funny Meerkats!

A view of the park.

They had this cool balloon that takes you up 400 feet (for an extra charge of course). I decided to stay on the ground!

We went on the tram that takes you where the animals are roaming.

We saw an ostrich tending to her eggs or maybe she was eating them. Who knows?

Many animals wandering around. I like that about this park.

A lion taking a snooze. I think that's his favorite spot.

Later we went into the Lorikeet Landing where you can feed them. They will swarm you if you have any nectar! They were very pretty!

This was inside the petting kraal. She was licking Dave's hand.

There was this cute little bunny running around in the bushes. He's right in the middle.

So sweet.

They had a Bonsai hut there!

Dave liked this one.

They had a cool suspension bridge. We ran on it. Whoa!!

Had a great time!

Memorial Day at Pismo Beach

We are driving up the 101 North. I love this freeway because it's really scenic!

Passing Ventura Beach. I saw one dolphin, I get so excited when I see one!

Passing the Vineyards close to Solvang!

We've arrived. The campground was nice with working showers and toilets! That was a big plus. That's Dave's rigg, that sucker hauls.

Todd, Lisa and Erin. We're off to the Dunes!

The beach was beautiful but it was soooo windy. Lots of white caps out there!

Todd passing us up!

Man what a nice beach!

The boys.

Allen's rigg was pretty sweet! He kept popping willies with it!

Dave was hauling here!

Allen was having fun too.

Hold on Dave!

Back at camp chillin with some beers and bbq! Not a bad way to spend the weekend!

There were some horse stables there. It was quite pretty!

The moon was rising over the mountains. I had a blast!
