Not my forte

Another amazing day <3

zoo

It was the Pilotโ€™s first time at the San Diego Zoo- we headed down there after bfast.

panda

We loved seeing all of the animals

meerkat

– my favorite was watching the meerkats dig for grubs and eat them.

There were also a few hilarious photo opsโ€ฆ

and the Pilot coerced me to ride the gondola of fear in the sky.. aka the โ€œSkyfari.โ€

gondola

The Pilot is the type of person who will rock the boat if weโ€™re on a ride (especially Ferris wheelsโ€ฆ and I cry, haha) and Iโ€™m the person who is afraid of heights, unless Iโ€™m going too fast to realize how high I am (like on a roller coaster).

I made him promise to be nice and not rock the Skyfari, or I was afraid Iโ€™d deliver our baby in the sky.

Thankfully, he was nice.

We walked around for about 3 hours (hooray for extra cardio), and the Pilot navigated us, since heโ€™s naturally good at that sort of thing.

I, on the other hand, am not.

Thatโ€™s what happened when I put โ€œThe Missionโ€ into Google maps to find our breakfast spot. My navigator duties were then taken away.

After the Pilot got us there, we had one of my favorite restaurant breakfastsโ€ฆ

eggs

Eggs, applewood chicken sausage, potatoes and freshly made rosemary gluten-free toast for me

French toast, eggs, bacon and mimosas for him.

I have no words for how good it was- thank you so much to those of you who suggested it! Everything was wonderfully fresh and flavorful.

Somehow, today we also ended up at the mall:

and back at Cups.

[3 mini cups: lemon ricotta, almond dream and pb cup]

hot cocoa2

[almond milk hot cocoa]

Weโ€™ll definitely miss that place!

Chilling back at the hotel before a fun blog-friend dinner date..

Something to talk about: Are you afraid of heights, or NBD? When was the last time you got in some fun extra cardio? Or maybe I donโ€™t want to know the answer to thatโ€ฆ haha

    Cupcakes? Meerkats? Shopping/gourmet breakfasts? PANDAS!!!! You and the Pilot should be Travel Agents in your nonexistant spare time… you guys really know how to get it all in on a vacay!!! ๐Ÿ™‚

    I give you props…major ones. I would have to be sedated to go on the Skyfari…my husband had to have the guy at the Fall Carnival stop the Ferris Wheel last year. I was hysterical with fear…so much for thinking having my husband along would help lol…maybe it works better when your husband is a Pilot!

    What an awesome trip!!! ๐Ÿ™‚

    I was just in San Diego. I fell in love with that city! I was afraid to ride the Skyfari too but figured if my 6 year old niece could do it, I could too! It was fun! I stayed at a hotel in the Gaslamp district which was right near that mall. I was there for a week but easily could have stayed longer. There is so much to do! One of my favorite places I visited was Trader Joe’s since we don’t have them in Florida! I came home with all kinds of goodies in my carry on!
