My wife and I received tickets to watch the PGA Tour at Torrey Pines in San Diego. So we flew out a day before the event. Stopped by the lounge for some breakfast and drinks.
Cranberry Rosemary Mule.
It was a quick flight to SD, hopped on the shuttle to the Rental Car Center.
Never been to the San Diego Zoo before. So we thought we'd check it out.
The first thing we saw when we walked in was the Bus Tour. So we got in line.
Told our friends Anh and Anna that we were going to SD to watch the Farmers Insurance Open and they decided to come along.
We wanted to sit on the upper deck but the staff member suggested that the lower deck had a better and closer view of the animals.
The Bus Tour was a great way to get a quick overview of most of the park. Then you can plan on how you want to explore more closely on foot.
While on the Bus Tour Anh pointed out the stands that had drinks. So that was our next stop.
The Zoo serves their draft beverages in aluminum souvenir cups to be eco-friendly, which was awesome. It kept the drinks super cold and it was only an additional two bucks and it's a nice keep-sake.
Time for lunch. Saw a sign earlier that had a BBQ Brisket Sandwich. I'm a sucker for brisket.
Upgraded to chili & cheese fries. The brisket sandwich wasn't that great.
Time to get a refill on our drinks.
Horchata
and another refill
Anna has been scouting the penny press machine throughout the park and finally came to a decision.
Our friends Phil and Quyen drove down from Orange County to join us at the Zoo.
The Zoo is huge. We were there from open to close 9am to 5pm. We finished about 80% of the park and we didn't stop for any shows or activities.
After the Zoo, we met with some local friends for dinner at The Crack Shack.
Lots of different sauces are offered.
Fried Chicken: Jidori fried chicken.
Firebird: spicy fried Jidori thigh, cool ranch, crispy onions, pickles, potato roll.
Mexican Poutine: schmaltz fries, Pollo Asado, jalapeno cheese wiz
Mini Biscuits: miso-maple butter. Tammy really liked this.
Cocky with a Chance of Meatballs: chicken meatballs, marinara, pepperoni, mozzarella on garlic bread.
That's it for our first day.
Tomorrow we have a whole day at Torrey Pines. It's our first time seeing a PGA Tour live.
