Corbin's "Top Ten Places You Should Visit This Summer" # 2

,

Rocky Point Sea World San Diego located in San Diego, California makes my "Top Ten Places You Should Visit This Summer" at number 2. Even though this park is the smallest Sea World Park in the nation it makes up for its visual beauty, stunning exhibits, amazing marine life, and its award-winning shows. This is a picture of Rocky Point Preserve home to over a dozen of the park's Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins.

Dolphin

Here is more of an up-close picture of one of their dolphins. This was taken during a designated dolphin feeding, which is open to the public during certain times of the day. It also gives you the chance to feel the "rubbery" skin of these marine mammals. Matter of fact Rocky Point Preserve is the first place I ever touched a dolphin! How neat!

As you all know I LOVE hands-on exhibits. This is me at one of the park's touch pools. These pools give you the opportunity to touch all sorts of marine life including starfish, sharks, and stingrays!

Believe

We got great seats to the park's newest show Believe...NOT! Even though we were pretty far up we still got a great view of Sea World's icon: the Killer Whale. After the show you can even see the whales in Shamu Close Up.

Sea turtle

Look at this big guy! Sea World San Diego is home to many different types of sea turtles, some of which has been here since the park opened in 1964. These ancient marine reptiles can live to be over 100 years old!

Journey

This park is also home to one-of-a-kind attractions including Journey to Atlantis. This "water coaster" is one of the very few in the nation. My best advice would be to ride this one first since the wait can get up to 3 hours! Definitely worth it though!

STOP H.R.669!!!!

,

Hi everyone!

Please take a moment and read this. We need your help. 

"The Nonnative Wildlife Invasion Prevention Act will affect millions of pet owners across the United States. Pet birds, fish, reptiles, even hamsters will be outlawed. The proposed law could turn thousands of pet owners into criminals. Even common farm animals such as alpacas and peacocks would be outlawed under the current bill as written. Time is short. Congress is holding a hearing on April 23, and pet owners across the United States need to act NOW!"

Please help the animals and I by visiting this site for more info and to find out how you can STOP H.R.669!

CorbinandJane

I am standing by the legendary Jane Goodall…what an honor! This amazing researcher is known world-wide by her studies of Chimp behavior in Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania. She is such a nice lady whose talk last week really inspired me (and thousands of others) to help change the world one simple step at a time. I am currently reading her first book “In the Shadow of Man” which I am really enjoying. What a great opportunity! Thanks Jane.

San Diego Zoo

The World Famous San Diego Zoo located in San Diego, California makes my list at #3 for "The Top Ten Places You Should Visit This Summer." This zoo welcomes millions of visitors each year and encompasses 100 acres. The zoo is best known for their visually stunning exhibits AND their famous residents (i.e.: Giant Pandas). I was 14 years old when I first visited this zoo...can’t you tell? 

Hippo

Look at this big guy! One of my favorite animals at the zoo is "Jabba" the hippopotamus. He calls the zoo's "Ituri Forest" home. This multi-species exhibit is also home to Okapi, Forest Buffalo, monkeys and otters.

Gorilla Tropics

The San Diego Zoo is known for their diverse amount of tropical plants, flowers, and trees. This picture was taken above the zoo's "Gorilla Tropics" exhibit. If you have the chance, make sure to ride the zoo's "Sky Safari." This will take you straight across the middle of the zoo giving you the chance to see the zoo from a bird’s eye view.

Slender Snout

The zoo's most elaborate exhibit called "Monkey Tails and Forest Tails" transformed the zoo's old monkey yard into lush tropical habitats for some of the world's most endangered creatures. Of course my favorite is the Slender Snout Crocodiles. These crocs "share" their exhibit with Pigmy Hippopotamus (another favorite)!

Polar

Take a look at this close-up of one of the zoo's four Polar Bears! The "Polar Bear Plunge" exhibit is one of the zoo's largest exhibits complete with deep water, water falls, and rocky caves. Depending on the day you visit you might even see the keepers blow snow into the exhibit. I LOVE the fact that the bears are often seen playing right near the glass.
