Zoo day

I took the kids to the zoo this morning.  The animatronic dinosaurs are ending their run there this weekend, and they'd been wanting to go back and see them again.  Of course, it was also the hottest day of the year so far.  We parked at 9:50, ten minutes before the zoo opened, saw all the dinosaurs, rode the carousel, took the train back to the front gate, and were back in the car at 11:10, all for $5.  That's the beauty of a zoo membership: when you haven't spent forty dollars on admission and parking, you don't feel like you have to stay and get your money's worth.  We go, see what we want, and figure we'll catch whatever we missed next visit.
