- bought a few things to eat (nuts, croissants, dates, strawberries) and drink (bubble tea) at the farmer's market

MONDAY, FEB 11
--------------
- morning: Went for SUP Yoga at Floating Yogis in Carlsbad
- picked up mom at Starbucks and drove to Torrey Pines State park. We hiked the trails down to Razor Point, Beach Trail, and Yucca Point.
- went for lunch at That Mexican Place. Cheap, but high quality, and big portions.
- back to the Welks and had a hot tub before dinner / drinks at Stone Brewing.
TUESDAY, FEB 12
---------------
- drove to the San Diego Zoo. The parking lot wasn't very full. Started at the flamingos, moved on to the monkey trail, walked across the
treetop bridge and down to the Pandas. The Panda wasn't very active at the time. We went for lunch, checked out the Asian section, and by the
time we came back to the Panda she was a lot more active, foraging for bamboo.
we moved on to the new Africa section and saw the penguins, lemurs, a leopard, and more monkeys. Caught up with the group at the elephants.
heard the lions making some loud noises. Walked over to the Polar Bears, who were quite active, swimming and rolling around in the water,
doing the backstroke.
walked towards the hippos and saw some very playful Asian Leopards who were chasing each other.
heard another tiger making some noise, which sounded more like a roar than the lions.
took the skytram across the park, and the Kangaroo bus back. Finished off at the Amphibians & Snakes.
- went for dinner at Cucina Urbana. Very nice atmosphere, seated near the wine section.
- had a final hot tub and finished our kombucha drinks. The water was a lot cooler this time.
WEDNESDAY, FEB 13
-----------------
- drove to La Jolla and checked out the harbor seals. There was a cute baby seal swimming around and poking his head out of the water.
- ran into Melanie and Gaz, but we had to rush to the airport
