This morning I met up with my brother and his family at their hotel in La Jolla after picking up some yummy cranberry scones at Brick & Bell Cafe on Silverado. We had some breakfast before heading out to the zoo. It was my first time riding the bus for the tour at the zoo. Even though I am familiar with the layout, it was good to see the animals and a summary/preview of the days' events.
I went off to a tea party at a friend's place later, and it was good to have the girl talk with great food and the coconut and the rose champagne teas. We had some interesting conversations. Reluctant to leave and excited to return to seeing family, I back to the zoo to see the animals, Mr. Zoolittle, the view from the Skyfari, and also time at the Discovery Playground with Kristen, her folks, and her grandfolks.
Then a late dinner at the Fish Market on the water by the USS Midway.
Yeah, it was altogether happy.
P.S. Sam's not in the picture because he was replenishing our hydration cups before the bus tour.
