Dad and I went to the Air and Space museum.
People have been flying in the air for 110 years.
The Wright brothers are famous for building an airplane that stayed in the air for just a few minutes.
Now aircraft can go around the whole earth and to the moon. Aircraft have jet engines or piston driven engines.
Some airplanes are used for fun and some are used in wars.
Some planes can fly faster than the speed of sound. That's fast!
There are lots of ship in downtown San Diego.
One museum is all boats and submarines.
One looks like a pirate ship. It's my favorite. You can go on them and look around.
There is a huge statue of a sailor kissing a nurse.
From the water they say that San Diego looks like a tool box. Here are 2 buildings that look like the tops of screwdrivers.
You can see the long bridge to Coronado Island from downtown.
A long time ago my dad went to meetings in the convention center.
We watch a TV show called "Simon and Simon" where Rick and his brother named A.J. live in San Diego. They show this building because their friend, Janet, works in it.
Some people ride in Cinderella's carriage around town.
We saw the pelicans being fed at the Safari Park.
The feeder said that Great White Pelicans eat fish and they like trout the best.
Pelicans have a pouch under their bill. When they eat they swallow the fish whole.
They have strong webbed feet for swimming and strong wings for flying.
They use their pouch to scoop up fish and water. Their pouch can hold 3 gallons of water but their stomach can't. So they have to carefully pour the water out without losing the fish.
Adults eat about 4 pounds of fish every day. Sometimes we see pelicans flying by the bay looking for food. They look like divebombers when they try to catch fish in the water. It's pretty funny to watch them.
At the Safari park, dad and I bought some bee pollen before we went in the Lorikeet cage. As I walked in, a lorikeet flew on my hand and started eating. I was very careful with the bird.
Then more came and landed on my arm.
Another one landed my shoulder and one on my head.
Lorikeets were everywhere!
Lorikeets can eat whole flowers, nectar and pollen. They have 4 toes on each foot.
They are colorful birds that are mostly green with some yellow and red feathers.
They live on the islands of the South Pacific ocean and Australia. They have a brush like tongues to help them eat.
There are gorillas at the zoo and the Safari Park. They are vegetarians and eat fruits and vegetables.
Males can eat 40 pounds of food every day.
Gorillas are hairy animals except on their faces, palms of their hands and bottom of their feet. Gorillas live in "troops". Each troop is protected by a male called a Silverback.
He protects his troop from enemies beating on his chest with cupped hands, showing his teeth, screaming and charging the enemy.
Baby gorillas weigh 4-5 pounds when they are born. Males weigh 300-500 pounds. Females weigh 150-200 pounds.
Gorillas walk on their hands and feet. They turn their hands to do a knuckle walk. Their arms are longer than their legs.
Gorillas are mammals. They love their families.
