As you may know, Hyla and I went on a behind the scences tour of the San Diego Zoo and Sea World. The trip was the "end of the school year trip" for the Wildlife and Range Club (which Hyla is apart). I served as a faculty chaperon. (Yes, it's a tough job, but somebodies got to do it) At the zoo. We went behind the scenes of both the polar bear and panda bear exibits. We were close enough to feel their breath.
After the zoo we went to the San Diego Temple. What beautiful building. The spirit is the same.
The next morning we went to the Sea World. Some of the highlights of that experience were seeing there polar bears behind the scenes, petting a beluga whale, getting kissed on the hand by a walrus (all are huge animals and could easily kill me). We also recieved some behind the scenes of the killer whale. We didn't get any closer that the usual visiter, but they did show us some of the audio recording devises they use to study whale song and hearing.
That night, we were able to hook up with John (my brother) and travelled downtown for dinner. We had some really good sea food and it was really great to see John.

This is the first chance I've had to look at your awesome pics! What a fun time! Especially those extra trips to the temple and for seafood. Not that those two are in any way equal - ha ha! They're always stops for us when we're in San Diego.
