San Diego
We arrived into San Diego very early on Sunday, it is home to the USA Navy’s 3rd Fleet, which is part of the Pacific Fleet.
Once we disembarked we caught a cab over to the hotel and got settled in for a couple days. After a while we headed to the Gaslamp Quarter of the city which is an older area that has been refurbished and now has lots of shops, stores, restaurants, etc.
From here we headed towards the marina and then we were out to dinner. 
On Monday we caught the Hotel Shuttle over to the San Diego Zoo. Lots to see and do here as there is over 125 acres to cover.
We started by catching the Aerial Tram to the top of the Zoo and then we worked our way down the hill.
The Zoo of course has every imaginable animal and species, etc. It is divided into different Countries and regions.
After a lunch stop we caught a 4D Movie that was included in our ticket price. On the way into the movie there were these 2 Macaws which were very similar to the 2 that we saw in Costa Rica. By the way, these are real!
A 4D movie includes the 3D glasses and then the 4D part is wind, water, chair vibrations, etc. that you feel as part of the experience
After the Zoo it was back to the hotel a dinner out and time to get ready to head home on Tuesday morning.

Great pictures. Did you go on the USS Midway or see it. It is a great museum. I write this as I stand in a very long line up to get a rental car in Vegas. 😉
Does anyone care about my long line up story? :). It was really long. The USS Midway is a must see. Unless you are Karen then you may have a different view. It is huge and yet smaller than a modern day aircraft carrier.
