Welcome 2012!

We forgot to tell all of you about the elaborate Gingerbread house we saw when we were in San Francisco for the holidays. If any of you get a chance to visit the Westin Saint Francis in Union Square during the holidays, they display a Gingerbread House in their lobby. It was more like a Sugar Castle to be honest. There was also a train that circled along the bottom and it was made of sugar too.

We kept our tradition and continued with Wednesday Zoo Day. We were amazed how packed the zoo was today. Families must still be on vacation. Well, it was giraffe and orangutan day. The orangutans were lively and hanging all over the place. Kalista is a monkey magnet since the orangutans always find a way to sit next to her through the window. The giraffes were gorgeous as usual. Don't be jealous..but the temperature for today was 85 degrees. Gotta love San Diego winters!!! Kalista traded in her thick parka for a bonnet and sunglasses.
