Los Angeles Part 2

We have had a busy couple of days in LA.  Yesterday (Friday) we spent the whole day at San Diego Zoo.  We got picked up at 8:30am and we didn't get down there till nearly midday.  Lunch was our first stop so we could see which way we were going to go around the zoo.  We started out down one trail with monkeys and birds on it.  Then we came to the panada exhibit, we waited half hour to see them but it was well worth it, we were lucky as one was sitting right in front of us eating bamboo.  It was so so cute, we got some great photos and footage of them.  There was so much to do and see at the zoo, it was just incrediable.  The monkeys were very cute and they even had koala bears and kangaroos.  We got lots of great photos and footage.  We got through most of the zoo though it was very rushed and we finally got picked up at 6pm to head back to LA.  It took 3 hours to get back as the traffic was just crazy.  We got back to the hotel at 9:15pm, luckily the hotel restaurant was still open so we had a late dinner which was pretty good.  On Saturday we headed to universal studios, we met up with a few other people from the tour so we spent the day with them.  We bought the front of line pass and it was the best investment we could of gotten.  We didn't have to wait for any of the attractions it was awesome.  We did the backstage tour and got to see the old sets from the movies and the current shows like Desperate Housewives.  We saw the Jaws set and I jumped and screamed like a little girl when the big shark jumped out at the bus. Katrina thought it was very funny.  The best rides we went on were the Mummy ride and Jarassic Park.  They were so much fun.  They had a ride called house of horrors, we all walked in and Katrina got so freaked out it was the funniest thing I have seen, she screamed quite a few times.  I laughed so much I got a sore stomach.  We were finished at Universal by 5pm and we saw everything we wanted which was awesome, so we all went and had dinner at Hard Rock Cafe, it was really good.  What was even better was we were back at the hotel nice and early for an early night.
