Zoo

It's the end of the summer for us teachers so what better way to end than a quick 2 day family vaca to the zoo! We left Friday around lunch time so Anna could nap in the car, drove for about 3 1/2 hours all the way over to Asheboro. When we arrived it was perfect timing to check into our hotel room. Anna LOVED the hotel. Here we are having snack time on the big bed after a long drive - sorry Quinn no snacks for you.

We got our beds set up and then decided to go for a swim - a MUST when booking a hotel. Anna had a blast and of course didn't want to leave but we enticed her with going out to dinner, that usually works. 

I found a restaurant before we left so we traveled over and had a great meal. On the way home we picked up some Wendy's frosty shakes to have for dessert. At the hotel it was still early so Greg and Anna went for a walk outside while Quinn ate and went to make sure our stroller was properly put together for tomorrow. Here's Anna getting snuggly on her big bed watching a movie! It was an interesting night to say the least....A LOT different trying to go to sleep in the same room with a 2 year old and 2 month old. 

On our way to the zoo! Can you tell how excited Anna is? Ha! The zoo was about 10 minutes down the road from the hotel. 

There were two parts, Africa and North America. We started in Africa and walked our way to North America.

This one's for you Dad!

Anna loved riding on the tram. 

And her treat from the gift shop.....? A multicolored sugar filled sticky icky butterfly lollipop. So much fun cleaning that up in the car on the way home. 

It was a great trip, so nice to get away as a family. We will definitely go back again soon.
