NC Zoo (2009)...

Saturday, June 27th, 2009:

Jason woke up early to go meet his mechanic and Dan for breakfast at...Waffle House. First person to get his vehicle inspected today - while Jason and Dan were waiting for the Jeep to be finished, Jason realized that they were next door to "MJ Donuts" in downtown Pineville, NC! Being a good boyfriend Jason went in to get me one for breakfast, and then realized that he had no idea what kind of donut I would like (he called me and I told him an apple fritter). Jeep was done and it was time to come home, change clothes and head over to pick up his kids so we could go to the zoo...


Got to Jason's moms' house (Jan) and waited for the hair to be pulled up into a ponytail, and the last of the sunscreen to be applied - and we're off (wait, no we need to look for sunglasses - now we're off). Jason drove the whole way there, which was good as we ended up detouring around some accident on Hwy. 49 - finally got to the zoo in Asheboro =) We went through the North America part of the zoo first, and then on to Africa - hard to see a lot of the animals, difficult exhibits to view the animals in (lots of hills, and deep exhibits too). Took a bunch of photos and burned out my batteries completely...

I drove the entire way home with the sound system turned up - a little rock for the drive home, singing out loud to keep myself awake (I really wanted a nap). Jason caught a little shut eye and so did Connor - Ana stayed awake the entire time (the females persevered). Got home and got Thor adjusted to the two children (not really, but he knows that we smack his butt when he gets to close to their faces) - fed, watered and played with the dog. Dinner was Ramen, sliced cheddar cheese, and sliced up dill pickles - YUMMY! The kids watched "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" and then it was off to bed. I'm finishing this and it's off to bed for myself too...
