One of the highlights of my San Francisco trip, was going to the San Francisco Zoo where I met up with fellow blogger AVCR8TEUR and enjoyed a wonderful day taking pictures and getting to know everyone. One of the things I learned (really I had no idea how lacking in knowledge I am ! )was how California got the name the "Golden State". I would have assumed it was from the gold rush of 1849. Not so! They got it from the Grizzly Bears that turn a beautiful gold shade in the weather. As they would come across a field the humans could look out and see a "sea" of gold across the field of the Grizzly's.
These 2 sisters were at the zoo and waiting to be fed. I see now why the Golden is impressive. Imagine a field of 50 bears and you can see why it would be "golden". Amazing, they knew even then that blonde's have more fun.
Have a great day!
