We had the great confluence of a few tickets to the North Carolina Zoo and a wonderful sunny Saturday with nothing planned, so we loaded up the Oddity and headed to Asheboro for the day.
The zoo is best when it’s not crowded. By that measure, our timing was perfect. We hit all the highlights and had a blast. I especially enjoyed the new Australia Walkabout exhibit as I’ve never seen kangaroos or wallabies before. My only visit to Australia was spent looking for the next bar, but I digress!
Travis did almost the whole zoo trip without a nap. He enjoyed seeing everything but went especially nuts when we got to the elephants and rhinos. I’d say he enjoyed his first zoo visit.
Hallie is an old pro at the zoo. She enjoyed the sea lions the most. We also had fun reminiscing about her first zoo visit when she was only nine months old. What a long way she’s come!
I only wish the zoo was closer as those two hours each way in the car can take a toll. For an occasional fun trip, though, its worth it.
