We drove to Santa Barbara today and it was the perfect day for it! 68F, blue skies, sunny w/a slight breeze - just perfect! (the ideal break away from our valley's blasted 105F) We learned quickly that we prefer this zoo over LA Zoo. It's so much easier to do with toddlers and almost all the exhibits are up close and personal. The icing on the cake was Shane got to feed a giraffe! Once we got back to the car, we drove around near the beach (the kids fell asleep almost instantly) w/the windows down just enjoying the ocean air and COOL breeze. A lovely day. :)
