Pandas and Penguins and Presley!

We have been a little stressed lately. Moving, renovating, and professional development are each equally frustrating. I can't see the floor of our so-called office. The construction crew doesn't know that, yes, a light in Presley's room would be nice- and no, I do not care that the fan works instead. As much as I love to work with them, the other science teachers in my building are about as worried about my physics class as I am worried about their biology class. SO...

We loaded up and went to the Memphis Zoo so that we could forget about our worries for the day! Memphis is only an hour and a half from DA, and Presley enjoyed watching Baby Einsteins in Nick's new ride. We had a great time walking around (sometimes in circles) and seeing all the animals. Here are some pictures (with crappy camera)!

I also know that lots of the people (all 5 of you) that read this blog have probably thought about visiting the Memphis Zoo, so here are some tips... You can buy tickets online and save yourself the long line. Kids under 2 get in free. You can take an ice chest in! We took a small cooler with drinks. They serve Backyard Burger products so the food was good, and Nick, Presley and I had lunch for 16 bucks. We ate in a place that backs up to the monkeys, so we enjoyed watching them while we ate lunch. They give you a feeding/show schedule on the bottom of the map. For instance, there is a 1:00 Sea Lion show. This means that everyone and their brother (literally) will be watching the Sea Lions at 1:00. Be there early, or enjoy being the only person watching the Polar Bears! And lastly, remember where you parked! =)
