Zoo

We had some free passes to the Brookfield Zoo, so I decided to bust them out over the long weekend. Hmmm-I'm sure I was the only person with this idea. It's a big zoo out in the burbs that seems like it should be better than our smaller, free city zoo. Well, I'm not sure if we were there to watch the people or the animals. It was insane. After waiting in a line of cars to pay $8 to park, we walked a mile to the ticket booth. Had to pay extra for anything other than the zoo. And of course we wanted to see the dinosaur exhibit. And it was hot. And every exhibit started or ended in a gift shop. It was just ridiculous. Not to mention that we barely saw any real animals! One polar bear, one lone dolphin and a bear. Lamest of lame. But guess who had fun?!
