And as you can see all of us are a little extra-crispy-dark at the end of the day because we forgot the sunblock in the bustle of leaving the house:

San Diego Day 3 - The Zoo

This posting is shamefully late, but sometimes life just gets in the way and I desperately wanted to finish this set and get these pictures out there. This was my favorite day in San Diego because I got lots of exercise and I didn't get a sunburn because I remembered to slather on the sunscreen before leaving the apartment!
Here's Rafferty, my sister's slightly ornery but well pampered kitty:

And here we are at the zoo. Paul is such a sport for letting me take his picture
(^_^)
I'm going to limit these to pictures that came out well and are interesting, since I'm sure there are much better pictures of animals out there on the web.
