We've had a good time entertaining the Paske's from Minnesota here in Southern California. We spent the weekend showing them the San Diego area, including La Jolla, the U.S. Midway air craft carrier and Coronado. We even found time to hit up the Gaslamp District for dinner.
We decided to stay in San Diego for the night and scored a "Four Star" hotel for $90 including taxes in the Hyatt Regency via Priceline's "Name Your Price". The "Four Star" was much more like a Three Star but good nonetheless.
On Sunday we made it over to the world-renowned San Diego Zoo. We got there at 10 a.m. and put in some good miles seeing anything and everything the zoo had to offer. For the most part, the animals were sleeping or not that active. Then the 7.2 earthquake struck in Mexicali and shook San Diego considerably.
Needless to say the hippos were really excited. They jumped into the water and starting playing with each other, snapping their humongous jaws. We'll post some pictures here as soon as we get the chance. The earthquake woke most of the animals up from their Easter slumber, but the Kings of the Jungle in that of the lions really didn't seem to care!
Now, we can say the Paskes have experienced most of what SoCal has to offer. They've seen beaches, Hollywood, got stuck in a traffic jam, saw San Diego and the zoo, shook in an earthquake, gone to a winery and today they get to see Downtown Disney, another beach and the Twins vs. Angels season opener 6 rows up from first base. I'd say that it was a very successful 5 days!
