So much for a day of nothing! I woke up and it was so pretty out that I asked Adam if he wanted to go to brunch and then the Oakland Zoo. He was totally game and of course Annie the girl wanted to see the animals.
We have now been to the SF and Oakland Zoo. Each has pros and cons but I would say Oakland has SF beat. My only tip is to make sure to have a stroller as there are a lot of hills. Make sure to wear good shoes as the hills can be steep. But, they have all the great animals larger that the SF Zoo lost it's license for. Elephants, Tigers, Lions, Monkeys, they are all there plus a huge kids Zoo in the Zoo. The only thing SF does better is the view of the Bay, and their train.
We like Oakland so much we bought a year long family pass. It was only about 20 minutes from our house which is awesome! Annie really had a knock-out weekend, and the best part is none of it was planned so I am keeping to my resolution of being more spontaneous. I can't wait to see what the next few weekends bring...hopefully a finished backyard and a BBQ!
Annie at Brunch. What did people do before iPads? ;-)
Okay guys! Season passes purchased, now I know we are sure to come back. Let's do it!
What are you looking at Miss? You are the funny looking one.
No way dude, YOU are the funny looking one.
Mommy that crocodile is SCWARY! (yes that's how she says it)
Annie looks sad here b/c she kept asking me to "open 'em up" because she said the animals were stuck.
We got to see the Baboons at feeding time. Annie said their tushies were red.
Either this Elephant has 5 legs, a tail, and a trunk OR it's Definitely a boy.
Annie doesn't know what to make of it.
Having some dehydrated fruit and some water. A girl has to replenish.
Getting ready for the train ride! We got the back car. It's the best.
Annie loving the wind in her face.
The view of the SF bay from the train. We live in such a beautiful state.
Yep, another Pony! And yep, she has no idea the bow is there.
Hmmm, Daddy I don't know if I like this talk of going home!
Okay, if you say we will come back, I am happy!
