Carlsbad Vacation Part 3

Monday — Wild Animal Park — It was tough getting out of the condo this morning, and we ended up being 20 minutes late to meet everyone else, but it worked out ok. They had a great Meerkat exhibit and Lucy loved it. The elephant show was fantastic, but I waited about 20 minutes for the food place to cook a hot dog for the kid’s meal I ordered. Ugh. Poppa, Jeff and I had a strenuous uphill walk to get to the elephant show where the gals were waiting for lunch. I had Lucy on my shoulders while balancing a tray full of food, including a large soda with no lid (for the safety of the animals). The hardest part was that having Lucy on my shoulders caused my hat to fall over my eyes and I didn’t have any free hands to push it back up. I ended up just keeping Jeff’s heels in sight and following them.
