Sandy Eggo Zoo

While down in Temecula, we took a family trip to the zoo. I was pretty excited having heard that the San Diego Zoo was something special and having several people mention “You have to go to the San Diego Zoo.” But all in all it was not as exciting as I thought it would be. As usual the zoo consisted of what seemed like 75% empty cages. Most of the animals were doing the only logical thing and hiding in their caves out of the hot San Diego sun. I can’t really say I blame them… but it is their job to entertain me! I want dancing bears! (Or at least visible bears)!

And I couldn’t find my favorite animal… the anteater, so it was kind of a bummer. I guess the zoo was nice overall (clean, nicely planned and laid out, nice exhibits, etc) but I think it was just talked-up too much. Or maybe zoos just really aren’t that interesting because the animals don’t have the same opinion about their role in the whole zoo scene that I have. Or maybe I’m just taking for granted the fact that I saw so many animals from all over the globe in one condensed place.

Bottom line…. It was fun, but not as fun as I expected, and I am zoo-ed out for about 10 years.
