New goal?

[zianuray]

Well, something to think about anyhow -- I just decided I'd like to visit at least one Zoo in each state eventually.  Anyone here know of any states that do NOT have Zoos?  This website has n/a for several, but I don't know how current that is....and it doesn't mention Dickerson Park Zoo in Springfield, which I'm pretty sure exists 'cause I remember going there.

I know the Indianapolis Zoo used to have a dolphin show; I'd suppose they still do, & I'd like to see it again. Jason and I sat close enough to get splashed!  It was raining anyhow, so big deal, a little more water :D

And I nearly grew up in the StLouis Zoo -- NO COMMENTS, Jeff!!!!!!!  Oh, heck, say it -- don't want you to hurt yourself.  And I know, there's about 6 ways to take THAT.

Hey, how about this -- once a year, go to a different state for a day at a Zoo, then go to a local RenFaire that weekend!  And better yet if someone from LJ lives there who can go with us and put up with my blathering  :D

This site has more/other Zoos!

HeeHeee! Sounds good to me! Actually, with the daughtes moving to a 'burb of (Harrison?) thecapital of PA, that might happen sooner than you think. Got a RenFaire handy? And I don't mean Pennsic, that's worse than Dragon*Con!!!

*blinks rapidly* Harleysville? I know where that is :) Don't know what you mean, but seeing as how Jess and I drive to hershey and back yesterday, no far is too far

I've only been to one Ren faire ever and while I loved it, there's no one to go with me :(

I love KC's zoo although it is MO so it doesn't count since you grew up in St Louis ;-)
But I'd go anyway...

To me, KC and StLouis are in a distinct category - both cities overlap into two states, so any major point could be thought to apply to both/either. How's that for stretching logic to fit?

I love rationalization and justification! ;-)

There is a zoo in Delaware. It is the Brandywine Zoo and it is small but nonetheless a zoo. Worth about 2 hrs or so. I feel that we are probably lucky to have that seeing how darn small Delaware is.

Yup, it's listed on the second link :)

Moi??? Say something about you being raised in a zoo? Perish the thought (which is better than Perish the Jeff).

Look down at the bottom and the sponsors. One is a hotel in Ashboro, NC. Which, by the way, is the home of the NC Zoo.

The Ren Faire is about an hour or so away from the Zoo area.
