Welcome to the Animal Kingdom






So I know I've been slacking on my blogs- be nice I'm a virgin blogger. So two Thursday's ago I went to the Minnesota Zoo. I hadn't been there since I was real little (probably first grade), back when I lived in Apple Valley. It's changed a lot since then, let me tell you. It's massive. The weather was perfect when Mike and I went, and besides the swarms of elementary school kids it was a great time.

I was slightly disappointed in the lack of basic animals in the zoo. No lions, bears, giraffes, or elephants. Real weird! The place to be was at the Monkey Pen. Buggers are crazy, apparently they jump all over the trees for attention. It was pretty entertaining. Another cool thing to do there is see the dolphin show. You'll have to deal with little kids screaming at the dolphins, but otherwise its a good time. Notice how I'm not real big on kids (just loud ones!!). I also pet a shark while I was there!

That's about it for the zoo. Post comments and I'll be your best friend!

over and out-

ps I promise to post more often!

And so it begins...

Welcome to my very first blog!

This summer will be my first in Minneapolis. The purpose of this blog is to note all of the places/events I may go to. Restaurants, concerts (if my roommate has anything to say about it), destinations and stores that I visit this summer will be documented and discussed.

Cross your fingers my camera gets fixed this week and I can add some pictures!
