And Then We Saw a Monkey!

Today we took the princess to Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia. Jason took today, tomorrow and Wednesday off because it's my spring break. Yay for working in higher education! The weather couldn't have been better. It was a nice 80 degrees with a slight breeze.

We were going to go to the aquarium in Atlanta, but we are very poor, and the aquarium is very expensive, so we opted for the cheaper outing. We have a zoo membership, and Jason discovered that we could get into Columbia for free with our cards. We did, and it was so worth it.


The last time we took Abby to the zoo she didn't have much of a concept of what was going on, but today she yelled like the birds and the monkeys and was fascinated by the fish.

After two hours in the zoo we went to the "park" (I put it in quotation marks because the word park is used here very loosely) and ate lunch. We walked down to the river and looked at the trees and the rocks.

It was a wonderful day!

You can't really see it, but Jason's got a bird on his arm. Abby was fascinated here.
