Jim,

Thanks for being a zoo advocate.  My wife and I used to take our children to the San Diego Zoo when we would visit her grandparents in San Diego.  It was a special zoo and we have very fond memories. 

We had the opportunity to visit the Seattle Woodland Park Zoo at least once a year and it too is a special place.  A really good zoo is such a benefit for the community.

I remember going to this zoo many years ago while visiting relatives in Southern California. Seeing your post has brought back many pleasant memories. Thanks for sharing about their wish list.

Jim, That is a great post!  What a great reminder, and your Zoo in San Diego is such a great resource!  The cost to manage it must really be astronimical!  Which is something that I probably would never have even thought about, so again, thanks for the message!

Jim,

I have never been to the San Diego Zoo but I'll bet it's incredible!  I hope the fundraising for it goes well - a Zoo is a great learning experience for everyone young or old.

Hi Jim - That's a great suggestion.  And I'm sure a lot of zoos could use some help in this economy.

Hi Jim,

This is my favorite zoo and any donations the zoo gets helps keep the programs going. I love the pictures you posted as they are so cute. Thanks for sharing.

Jim - The San Diego Zoo is absolutely amazing!  I miss that my kids are now full time in school and we don't go as regularly as we used to in the past.  My aunt is a docent (sp?) there and we are hoping to go see her doing her animal introductions.  I love all the new exhibits that they are creating, great post.  Thank you!
