Conservation Carousel

On a recent trip to San Diego we had much fun at the Wild Animal Park. We got a little lost on the "9 minute" trip from the Motel Mediteran, a lovely, independent hotel near the park. After the 3rd miscue from my Blackberry (which was likely directing us to the keeper's house :), Mary ratted us out and called Jack for directions, so now we had me shouting directions from the backseat, Diane calling out directions based on her good sense of direction and Jack trying to direct us from afar over the phone, can you say cacophony?

In spite of our initial difficulties, the rest of the day went beautifully. We stayed from 9am until just after 7pm.

Not to be missed was the Conservation Carousel, we liked it so much we did it twice!

Diane finally gets her Cheetah ride



The park is very family friendly, and we got the pleasure of observing this friendly family in action. Check out the video
