David really wanted to go to the zoo and the kids were really excited about it. The San Diego Zoo is ranked one of the best in the nation, and I can see why! We've been to the zoo in Cincinnati, OH and Houston, TX and it was fun to add another zoo (in addition to our Utah Hogle Zoo) to our list. We had a lovely day exploring the zoo together and looking at all of the animals. I was disappointed because I thought that they had Giant Pandas but they "said goodbye to their pandas in 2019" and sent them back to China. So sad for us. But they had some other neat animals that you don't see in our zoo, like Koalas, Kangaroos, and bears like Spectecled Bears and Sun Bears.
We originally had planned to go to the beach this day, but the weather was supposed to be a little cooler so we swapped activities so we could do the zoo on a cooler day and the beach when it was a bit warmer and the weather was beautiful for us.
The polar bear was eating and we had a fun time watching it be so active.
These kids were such good explorers together. I loved watching them experience this new place together.
They had interactive exhibits, statues, and winding paths to see all the animals (we only got lost once).
It was so fun to be there with the cousins together.
They had a bus tour of the park, which we loved, plus a trolley bus that you could hop on and off to get to different parts of the park. They also had a skyride that would take you all the way from the front of the park to the back, and we made sure to go on that several times. 
We enjoyed the day at the zoo, although, if I'm being completely honest - I think the kids would have been just as happy if we had gone back to the beach both days. Even so, they had fun and we started our San Diego stay off with a great day.
