Magnificent Monday: I Love Kids on the Beach
![Don't try to see the zoo in a day. The zoo has 9 different animal zones and covers 100 acres in Balboa Park. If you only have one day to spend there you won't be able to see everything, especially if you have kids in tow. To make sure that you don't leave disappointed, check out the San Diego Zoo website before you show up and come up with a list of must-see attractions. Once you know what you want to see check out the online Park Map [sandiegozoo.org] to come up with a rough plan of attack.](http://averagetraveller.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/IMG_0597-36x36.jpg "San Diego Zoo Tips and Tricks"){kind=small}
Great shot! I haven’t been to Waikiki in about 8 years…. I want to go back
I usually want to go back after 8 days!
I’m going to Hawaii next week! Hopefully there will be no hurricanes…
So lucky! Expecting loads of photos and stories! Have a great trip! Oh, and sorry for the delayed approve. I saved your comment out of the Spam folder.
Looks like another night in paradise. How did it look the next day?
Actually the hurricane ended up being a bit of a bust. The biggest threat ended up being getting sand in your eye. I was hoping to see a little wild weather, but the winds only ever got to the slightly uncomfortable level. Probably for the best, though!
Beautiful sky and lights — nicely done!
Beautiful photo
Very nice. I live on the West Coast and have yet to make it to Hawaii. Shame on me!
It’s so peaceful looking, especially the sky. Hard to imagine that a hurricane is on its way.
