Aaron's cousin, Vince, and his family went to west coast for vacation.
We were so happy to them, especially Anna & Mathew. So are they.

On 10/10/2009, Aaron, 2 sis, and I went to Wild Animal Park with them.

This was also my first time here!  I felt as excited as a kid~


San Diego Wild Animal Park covers 1800 acres and housed various wild animals from Africa and Asia. Some of them are endangered species.




Except for giraffe, gorilla, flamingos, and lion (lying on the roof of the car) above, we also saw rhinos, zebra, antelope, elephant, cheetah, ostrich, vulture, condor..., and many species which I forgot their names...




The park is famous for its open-range enclosures.



When we arrived at tiger's habitat, there were some staffs demonstrating tiger's powerful jaw, teeth, paw, and fur.

I really enjoy the ride of  "Journey into Africa Tour" because we could get really close to see the animals.

That is the route we just passed, where a group of giraffes are.



Later, we all took a carousel ride except Aaron, who was our photographer.

"Petting Kraal" -- it is an area we can touch the animals, including antelopes, gazelles and deers.







They were really cute and gentle ~   Everyone was so excited !

Ha~     Our tongues all turned red and blue after drinking "ICEE"....
(I didn't know they were doing this. Actually, mine is as blue as Aaron's.....)

Let's take a picture for us all !!

We all had a great day !

10/12/2009 was their last day in San Diego.
So Aaron & I drove to Mission Bay, San Diego, to dine with them.

On our way to Mission Bay, we found a "dog beach".
Yep!  It is a place for dogs to play and swim !




We walked around the Mission Bay Park for a while before we met Vince.





We both  like this place. We'll definitely come back for a vacation someday.
Later, we went to Old Town San Diego for some Mexican food.
I....am so hungry....that I forgot to take pictures....

Hope to see you soon in Chicago !!  We will miss you all !
