Christmas Trip to the Zoo and the Beach

We had a last minute weekend getaway to San Diego. We love the zoo at Christmas time and so we took a trip for Lilly's birthday to the zoo. We had no traffic and made it to San Diego in exactly 3 hours! We checked right into our hotel, had breakfast and discovered the best room in the hotel is room 101! We then headed to the zoo to see all of our favorite animals. We had a blast. The weather was great and the girls were needing a trip to the zoo. We then hit the beach for some fun in the sand. Lilly really is enjoying the waves and the sand much more now. Both girls love the swings at the beach. We then went and saw the lights at the zoo and I don't have a picture to show but we had an amazing Lion sighting. The girls love to walk around the zoo together and we are lucky to have girls that like each other!  One of the favorite things that we did was to ride the Skyfari at night. They were all lit up and we could see all the lights below us and the lights of downtown...it was truly magical! We may have found a new Christmas tradition....
