We haven’t been to the zoo in quite some time, especially since I let my membership lapse in January. I didn’t even consider renewing it this time since we really did not get our money’s worth out of it last year. I have to confess, I really really hate driving down there. It’s not just that it’s far, but the traffic is always scary/bad, and it seems like it’s always too crowded and/or hot. Yes, I know, bad mommy. :p In any case, dance class got cancelled at the last minute this week and we were looking for something to pass the time, so when my friend, Jon, suggested we meet up there, I figured it was as good a day as any. Oh, did I also mention that they have jacked up admission prices? Bleh.
The weather was actually perfect and while there were a lot of school kids there, it wasn’t nearly as bad as it can be during the month of May. Plus, we finally got to see the new Giants of the Savannah exhibit that opened last year. I think this is also the first trip we’ve made to the zoo without a stroller! Hooray! While I did miss having something to dump my bag in, I did not miss having to navigate crowded paths and stairs with it.
Still, she did apologize for her behavior and the rest of the day was quite pleasant. We even had ham for dinner, which Evy went crazy over! She kept declaring, “this is the best dinner EVER!”
