The day started out 28 degrees but ended in the 50's with a lot of sunshine. A good day to go to the Zoo, yes ? so, we did. Well, get out the maps, gear up for a ride in the blender and let's go. What would we ever have done without this GPS (thanks guys) it saves us every day we hit the streets. the ride was short, just busy and a bit concerning when everyone travels 80 miles an hour. We got to the Zoo with no problems once we took that exit, THAT ONE, whew, made it.....not sure if the guy behind us did. A lot of the animals were in hiding when we got there, it was cold and they were not going to co-operate, a lot of the monkeys and birds where sitting vey close or on top of the heat lamps which were placed in their cages....i don't blame them. The zoo is very well taken care of, the cages are super clean as were the animals and they all seemed very happy and willing to come out and great us as it warmed during the day. We took a double trip around some of the exhibits and were glad we did as the animals had decided to come out and do there thing in the sun. I never saw so many birds, snakes and lizards.....the grizzley was a great sight, an old man i think and he didn't want to be bothered to dance around, just laid there in all his glory and enjoyed the sun. the hippos were in and out of the water, watched as 2 or 3 of them just laid in the pool and enjoyed the clean baths they were taking...never even left to tank to relieve themselves but i guess that gave the fish something to ponder over, and they did..yuck.
the zoo has a lot of construction going on for a lot of new exhibits, it will be beautiful when completed...we were impressed.
Going to be a cold one tonight, I guess the whole country is in the cooler, stay warm, love to all.

It is nice to see you posting about your trip. Will you be making it up to the Pacific Northwest? School has me very busy but I'll try to fit y'all in. Have fun out there.

would love to make it but I don't think it will be this trip. We are planning a summer Western National Parks and Alaska trip so we think that will take in the Northwest. Course, we should check the temps out there, probably warmer than San Antonio..now 32 and falling !! Maybe we should be in New England sitting in front of the stove, but then you do have to put up with the white stuff. Take care, thanks for reading.
