L.A. Zoo--we went last weekend--it was fairly nice and not too crowded. they are working on updating the habitats and i had heard that it's not like it used to be--i hate going to zoos and seeing animals pacing around cages with no stimulation and people poking things at them and making a general nuisance of themselves.
Sea World-San Diego today. this park is one of my faves but i've not been to a busch gardens. it was hard to follow the maps and the signs around the place and we spent some time walking around in circles. people were rude and pushy (which is the norm, i think). the dolphin tank was hard to get to and even harder for the kids to lean over the walls (as we were instructed to do). the dolphins are like trail horses and know just how close they can get to you and stay out of reach of your strained hand. but, they are my favorite attraction. we watched the dolphin show and were amazed to see people actually trying to climb the glass wall to touch the dolphins at play before the show began. and these were kids! and a recording kept saying that we need to keep our hands out of the tank to protect the animals (probably to keep from getting a lawsuit because some ignoramous stuck their hand in the tank and got bit). only two people were there to make sure folks resisted the temptation to touch. not enough if y
u ask me. and what's more--one guy got a talking to but not two seconds later a kid was trying to do the same thing-and he was within earshot of the attendant! other than that, we liked our visit.

ok, now that i've had a chance to relax (the drive to and from this place was nuts). we will be going back to Sea World as we were able to pick up the Fun Pass. only thing is it expires in Dec this year so we've missed three months of the promised 1 year. that's ok though.
