Most of us wished we could have had just another 2 hours at the San Diego Zoo. It was so much fun and almost all the animals were very active while we were there…even the Pandas!
A quick ride from the zoo took us to Old Town. It was a neat little place with stores, but the highlight was an impromptu concert at the Immaculate Conception Church. The kids sang ‘Search Me O Lord’ and ‘Lord Bless.’ The acoustics were beautiful and those that were in the church seem to appreciate the music.
Another 5 minute ride took us to the ‘Children’s pool.’ Once upon a time, this area of the beach was gentle enough for children to play, but the seals thought it was good for them, too…so they took over. We saw several seals in one area where the surf was 8-10 feet. Kinda neat! Many of the kids went straight onto the beach, away from the seals, to enjoy a 55-degree Pacific. Brrrrrr!
Dinner was served at the La Jolla Shores Hotel veranda right on the beach. After dinner, the kids sang ‘Praise His Name’ and ‘Lord Bless.’ We even got applause from the folks that were in the pool area. The best comment came from one of our servers, a young lady in her late twenties. She asked if we were a Christian group. I replied that the group was from a Christian High School. Her mouth dropped open and she said she was amazed to see such a large group of believers from this generation. It was a blessing to know we were a blessing to her this evening.
The evening ended on the beach! Not too many things can compete with watching the sun set on a beach…
Tomorrow is Palm Sunday Service and Disney Land.
