san diego and back home

flying to sandiego from portland is just over 2hrs.. not bad at all... we had some time to kill as we were flying out late in the evening so we explored the world famous san diego zoo! what an awesome zoo... the terrain is crazy, huge hills and valleys, a tram, crazy animals, ... photos almost don't do it justice but i will share a few anyways. we did not see the pandas... a long line to see them was not what we wanted to do after the lines in disneyland.... at any rate, we experienced the zoo and before heading to the airport we checked out old town sandiego, the gas lamp quarter, and that's about it... a very small taste of san diego but enough to make me/us want to goback again some other day!
