California Day 4

San Diego here we come!!! We left Sunday morning around 9:30 for a beautiful 2 hour drive down PCH....so beautiful, those 2 hours flew by!! We got to San Diego and waited on Rebecca's dad to meet us at the San Diego Zoo!!! I love the zoo I can't tell you how many times I have been to the OKC zoo I feel like a little kid when I go there. Anyway, the San Diego Zoo is so big there is no way to see everything in one day. I told Rebecca & her dad that as long as I at least see the gorillas I will be happy. A couple of highlights were the Skyfari (a sort of cable car that crosses the zoo) and the infamous TIGER CUP!! If you have seen my Facebook pics you will notice that the cup made many appearances and was in almost all photos. This cup was $11 and you got free refills the entire day thought it was a pretty good deal since each drink was $4 and its a cute souvenir cup to take home (I made sure to get 3 refills for my $$ worth). Pictured below is Rebecca's dad holding the tiger cup and me with my momma!!


We had done a lot of walking at the zoo and were ready to get to the hotel. So Rebecca got this really good deal on a hotel that was close to the zoo & Sea World it was supposed to have a hot tub, club, restaurant and bar. We get there and first of all it is in an interesting area. We have to park in the back and walk about a mile to the front (stupid me brings my bags). This place is a motel/hotel combo didn't know they even had these anymore but from the outside it looks haunted very 1940's cool at the same time. We go to check in and are followed in by 2 very intoxicated gentleman. 1 was very young with no teeth the other very old but both equally reeked of alcohol I thought I was going to throw up. Anyway as we are waiting to check in (they are behind us in line) the younger one with no teeth starts chatting us up (at the time we assumed trying to "hit" on us). Anyway, he asks where we are from, what have we been doing, what are we doing tonight and we should join them by the pool for drinks later....smooth me you know I will talk to anyone but am so not meeting him for drinks by the pool. The reason I said at the time "hitting" on us was because I turned around just before we got our room keys and the younger, toothless man grabs his "partners" butt and rubs on him......are you freakin kidding me? I think I threw up in my mouth at that point but not really sure because I was in a hustle to get out of there like yesterday. So I told you about all the supposed amenities well we walk by the restaurant and its closed for renovations, the bar/club isn't open and the hot tub is...you guessed it, COLD!! So I am not impressed and am just waiting to have an eerie encounter with the ghost of old hotel past.

We decide at this point to venture out for something to eat the closest place that we can find is Waffle House but hey in this neighborhood we know not to go too far when its dark. So we are sitting there waiting on our food and another "man couple" come in and sit right behind us and proceed to talk about inappropriate things. By this time I am giving Rebecca a very hard time that she has booked us in a gay hotel and that we are two girls alone and that everyone probably thinks that we are gay too....lol anyway we get back to the hotel and see 2 more "couples" and I am really starting to get weirded out. So that was our lovely experience at the hotel it was no where near 4 star don't know if it even got close to 2 needless to say neither of us slept with the comforter. I really hope Rebecca reads this because you definitely had to be there to get the full experience.

Day 5 is coming so keep checking back for more!!
