Day 12/13 San Fran to San Diego

 Day 12: California 1

What started out as an 8 hour trip turned into almost a 12 hour trip. We did look at the Winchester home and Hearst castle - from a distance.
This was the only picture I took:

Today's Totals:
525 miles

$210

Today's Lessons:

1. Get food while there is food to be had.

2. No boats, no beach goers, just ocean coastline. For miles.

3. People bike this - I can barely drive it without white knuckling it.

Day 13: San Diego Zoo

Today we spent 7 hours touring the San Diego Zoo. 7 hours.

We did everything there was to do there, but one of the exhibits we really wanted to see was closed (pandas). So if I'm being honest and doing a comparison, Milwaukee Zoo is better. San Diego is larger. And WAY more expensive all around.

We headed back to our hotel and ordered take-out, and called it a night. 

Today's Totals:

7 miles

$608

Today's Lessons:

1. Cheetah's have emotional support dogs. Miles told me this before we got there, but we actually saw one in the cage with the cheetah.

(It's not dead, it's sleeping)

2. Make sure restaurants are open before you travel across the park to go eat there. Hayden.

3. Charlie's new profession is potentially a zoologist. Although she might try and feed her brothers to the tigers...

Tomorrow we are headed to Vegas - AND we got a huge surprise tonight from my Aunt Mel, who called and hooked us up with a sweet room for Vegas tomorrow night!! 

Glad I don't book anything in advance 🙃

Now we need to make sure we don't look like we've been on the road for 13 days...
