San Diego Zoo Safari Park

We left Wednesday morning from Santa Ana and headed South to San Diego to the SD Safari Park.  All I can say is thank goodness for DVD players in the car. The kids stay quiet while Jeff and I can have an actual adult conversation.  It's wonderful. 


Here we are at the SD Safari Park.  It is the largest zoo that has an incredible amount of animals.  They alone have over 500 births a year of different animal species.




We got an upclose look at the giraffe's. There are 17 giraffe's at this zoo and we got to see a 6 week old baby giraffe. It was so cute!


The highlight of the day was Haley & Sydney feeding the giraffe.  They thought it was the coolest thing...and it was. 






Up by Condor Flats, there was a great look out point.  Perfect for photo-ops.

At the end of our trip at the SD Safari Park, we took a tram around the park where we got to see more animals and learn more about them.  Then we headed to the Cheetah Run, where we got to see a cheetah run 70mph twice.  It was amazing, and such a beautiful animal.

After a long day of walking, we went to our hotel room and relaxed in the spa.

The zoo looks like it was fun. What a way to end spring break.
