We’re zoo’ing it!

I have to say, me and zoos don’t have the best relationship.  It’s not the zoo’s fault.  It just seems like drama seems to follow me in through the turnstile.  But I’m pleased to report that our first summer trip to the Nashville Zoo earlier this month was a huge success.

We, of course, had to pick up Erin’s boyfriend Xander to tag along.

Of all the animals in the zoo, the boys seemed to be most fascinated with the coy fish.  Seriously?    
I personally, loved the flamingoes.  It was a new exhibit since my last visit in ‘09.

 
And, or course, the majestic elephants, which was our last stop of the day, given the fact that it was 96 degrees by the time we made it to this section of the zoo.  (Translation = way too hot to keep site-seeing.

We bought a zoo membership this year, so I’m hoping to get back next week when Nonna visits, and maybe have a daddy-date, too, in early July.  And maybe, just maybe, since we gets reciprocal membership at the Toledo Zoo, we’ll try that again, too, the next time we’re back in Ohio.

Have you been to the zoo yet this year?  What is your favorite exhibit?
