It’s been about 3 weeks since spring break ended and I’ve only been greeted by tests, projects, and papers. Although it has been 3 weeks, I wanted to share my experience!

For spring break, I traveled to San Diego, California with my best friend! Last summer I went to California for the first time and fell in love. So I knew I couldn’t stay away for too long and it was even better to share it with a good friend of mine.

The week was filled with the sun and a refreshing Cali breeze. We did tons of tourist things but the two main highlights were the San Diego Zoo and La Jolla Cove. Before arriving to San Diego, anyone who had ever been told me I HAD to go to the zoo. I knew it was well-known but at the same time I kept telling myself it’s just a zoo!

IT WAS NOT JUST A ZOO! I mean it was but in comparison to the DC Zoo, it won! There was a Skyfari which was similar to a ski lift that took you from one end of the zoo to the other. There were koala bears, pandas, polar bears, lions, cheetahs, giraffes, orangutans, turtles, kangaroos and so many more! There were sit down restaurants and the café food was even good! I feel like the zoo is definitely for every age group and now I’m an advocate for the San Diego Zoo as well.

La Jolla Cove had so many seals! It’s a beach town where all of the seals come up on the shore from swimming. They look for food and even the babies are feeding off of their mothers! They don’t smell too pleasant though; almost like a dog from the sea! Of course we had some good food and called it a day!
