Day 3 - Monday

Zoo Day

Big day for us. Had to get to the Zoo by the time it opened. Since they opened at 9am, this was no biggie for us 7am risers. We took John to this zoo when he was 14 months, so it was fun to take him back. I almost started to cry when we sat at the SAME restaurant we sat at 3 years ago and John was only 1.....and then...all of a sudden....here is my 4 year old little boy! Tim Russert was right..having children is the greatest JOY and PRIVELAGE you can have. Caroline liked the Zoo..as much as she could. She is much more interested in things than John was at that age. She likes to "take inventory" as we call it. John is more "go with the flow". Zoo was fun, but by 3pm, we were Exhausted! Only 12 Panda Bears in the United States...we saw 3 that day...TIME TO GO. Both kids fell asleep in the car on the short ride from the Zoo back to the hotel.

Another night of just finding a nice local restaurant, this time pizza, then over to the Del for some music and family fun.
