I wasn't able to post this yesterday, so I'm doing it now - in the Long Beach Airport! Thankfully, they have Wi-Fi. Jason and I are about 2 hours early for our flight! Yesterday was a wonderful experience at the Zoo! Jason and I sported our hats we got from Gaslamp Quarters, and he will tell you himself how this is the hat of his dreams :). We found our favorite multi-species exhibit, which had monkeys and otters! It was so fun watching the otters trying to get the treats from one of the monkeys. The exhibit was beautifully landscaped, with waterways for the otters, and tons of climbing equipment for the monkeys. Oh, and they also had some sort of pig species as well. The lady who was feeding the animals treats (she worked there) told us that the monkey we saw playing with the otters would sometimes hop on the pigs and ride them like horses!! We didn't see that, but we enjoyed what we did see!
Lunch was at the amazing Albert's Restaurant, which provided us seating right next to a waterfall! The food was delicious, but the atmosphere was what was most memorable. It was definitely a place we would recommend to anyone visiting the San Diego Zoo! It was a wonderful last day at the Zoo, and we are so grateful we were able to go as many times as we wanted during the week.
Later that day we picked up our rental car and tried to go to the Cabrillo National Monuement, but it was closed. We got to see some great views of San Diego though that we otherwise wouldn't have been able to see. I'll post those pictures later today when we get home. What a wonderful trip!
