The Saturday of Memorial Day weekend was gorgeous – sunny and warm, with a nice breeze. It was a perfect day for a family outing, so we went to the zoo. We started off with breakfast at my favorite place – West Egg Café. It took Mike all of one bite of his banana bread french toast to figure out why I love it so much.
We thought we were getting to the zoo in time to beat the crowds, but apparently everyone else decided to take advantage of the nice morning, too. The zoo was crowded but not unbearably so.
We opted for the Baby Bjorn in lieu of the stroller so that L.J. could look around easier. It worked well and he was wide-eyed for the first 45 minutes. (Though I’m pretty sure he didn’t get the concept of “we’re at the zoo and the activity is to look at the different animals”)
After the first 45 minutes, he began to get fussy so we flipped him around and he fell fast asleep. He remained in this exact position for the rest of our excursion.
Atlanta has a nice zoo, but it’s pretty tiny. (As compared to, say, the San Diego Zoo, where it literally takes the whole day just to get a short glimpse of everything) However, it worked out well for a short family outing and we were able to see everything in about 2 hours.
A few interesting animal pictures:
