I have a love/hate relationship with zoos in general.  The National Zoo in Washington, DC impressed me because I didn’t feel like the animals were being held as captive as I’ve seen in other zoos.  Today’s visit to the Kansas City Zoo made me feel even better.  Seems the wild animals have the opportunity for long range wandering….not like the jungle, of course, but  I didn’t see pacing and didn’t get a vibe of discomfort.

Only one pink flamingo seemed to be weighed down

It was a truly gorgeous day and in 4 hours we didn’t even see it all.  I chuckled to myself when I realized that I was craving a hot dog for lunch. Eating healthy makes you totally appreciate the chance when you can eat something unhealthy as a treat.

I hope it is a long fall this year.  It felt so good to be out in the sun with a cool breeze.

Until next time….
