Last day plus an extension...


We were going to get on the road home really early Tuesday morning but Colter was too disappointed.  We didn't go to Lego Land and we had offered the Zoo as an alternative.  Then we weren't going to the Zoo either (thanks to a five-hour timeshare sales pitch).  We decided dance and our other after school obligations could wait.

We got another batch of donuts for breakfast!


The San Diego Zoo lives up to every bit of its high reputation. 






We saw as many of the animals as we could.  We asked each kid what their top animals were and tried to see them all.  On the way to each animal, there were plenty of other cool animals to see.  After three hours at the zoo (just about the right amount of time), we went to get lunch at Subway, collected a forgotten backpack at the hotel, and hit the road for home. 

Our drive was uneventful, other than a road closure due to an accident on the grapevine that sent us on a windy 30-mile detour.  We made it home by 9:00 pm safe and sound.  We all got to see some new things, learn some new things, and have a vacation that wasn't centered around work or family.
