Oceanside and San Diego

We left Anaheim on Saturday and drove down to Oceanside. 

On Sunday we went to San Diego Wild Animal Park.  I loved the aviaries and spent quite a bit of time talking to a hyacinth macaw.  He wouldn't even look at another person until the keeper came in with food. 

Michael loved the elephants.  The keepers were trying to separate some of the animals and it was like herding cats but very entertaining for us.

I enjoyed the ride into the savanah area seeing several different species of Rhino and one that is the last of seven known of her kind.   It is so nice to see grazing animals in a savannah like area much like in the wild. 

On Monday we drove to Balboa Park and Michael flew 18 holes of disc golf. 

Then it was on to Old Point Loma.  Nicely restored building and fresnel lens displays there.  We left as a thunder storm hit, but got totally soaked just walking to the car.  We drove by new Point Loma and got rainy pictures.

Tuesday we headed to the airport in another storm.  Twenty mph on the freeway and spinning cars.  By the time we got to LB airport, the side streets were hub cap deep and many curbs and sidewalks were covered with water.  We had just gotten through security when the power went out at the airport.  Our plane waited 45 minutes for the passengers who couldn't get through security, but finally left them behind.  I'm glad to be home since southern California is expecting mud slides and more rain.
