Shakespeare Day @ Balboa Park

Sarah and I were really looking forward to testing the new 30D’s out on all of the cute, fuzzy animals at the zoo on saturday. It was a perfect day – Sunny with a high of 68. We were actually done with our church -stuff early, and had the whole afternoon to just stroll and get some great shots.

I think that 98% of San Diego had exactly the same idea. The place was packed.

After driving around for 40 minutes, we finally found a spot behind the outdoor theatre – about 1.5 miles from the zoo. I guess it just wasn’t meant to be…

We soon realized the reason for all of the traffic – It was Shakespeare day, and around 10 schools and all of their family members had converged on Balboa for the festivities. We ended up having a great time – and took some decent pictures too!

I guess the fuzzy animals will just have to wait until next time.

 

P.S. – The new elephant exhibit will be finished sometime next month – maybe we’ll see you there!
