North Carolina Zoo

With this being my last week home before I start my new job, we decided to have a little "stay-cation" and do some day trips throughout the week. On Monday, we spent the day at the North Carolina Zoo in Asheboro. It was a hot day, but with the shaded areas and indoor exhibits, we did just fine. It's a pretty big zoo, but we were able to do the whole thing in one day thanks to our trusty tour-guide, Daddy, who kept us on course. We saw plenty of animals from both North America and Africa. Dominic even got a special treat of a 3D adventure movie with Dora and Diego, two of his favorite TV characters. There was also a really neat playground that looked like you were visiting someone's vegetable garden and felt like a scene from "Honey, I shrunk the Kids." It made for a perfect break towards the end of the day. We were so glad that the zoo is only about an hour and half away so that we can continue to go back year after year.
