Day 3 was quite interesting. After breakfast, we got in the car and drove 45 minutes to the San Diego Wildlife Safari. Once we got there, we headed straight to the safari tram. This was a 25 minute tram ride that took us through the "African" safari. Mason was mildly interested, but cared more about the bottle of sunblock then the animals:) We saw so many amazing animals such as: lions, giraffes, zebras, gorillas, tigers, gazelles, and so much more. This park is huge! The grounds are absolutely beautiful, but I did not anticipate all of the walking. I probably should not have worn my 3 1/2 inch sandals:) As we were heading back to the main area for lunch, my sandal broke and I was left to walk barefoot (yes, me barefoot, the biggest germ-a-phobe ever!) on the zoo grounds to the shopping area. Mason already had a meltdown when we had to change his diaper, and my shoe breaking was the last straw! To top it off, I had to spend $30 on a pair of regular flip flops! I do not own any flats, and now I was forced into buying these expensive, ridiculous shoes. Needless to say, we ate lunch and drove back to our hotel. Mason was super cranky most of the day. His gums were bleeding and he can't stop putting everything in his mouth. Poor guy:( Mason was having a rough day with his schedule being off and the pain of teething. After we all showered (Mason has been taking showers this week because we don't have a tub:), we decided to take a ferry to downtown San Diego. This was probably not the best idea with the day we had, but we decided to give it a shot. Mason's first boat ride was uneventful and downtown San Diego wasn't too exciting either. After walking to the Gas Lamp Quarter, we decided to turn around and head to the ferry. The area was dirty, Mason was fussy, and Marc and I just wanted to eat dinner on our quaint little beloved island. We have been spoiled by all of the amazing food:) At dinner, Mason was his sweet happy self again. All of the diners were in love with him and he was loving them! Today was kind of an off today, but I am positively optimistic about tomorrow!!
