| Ryan and I spent some quality time together today at the Bronx Zoo. I wasn’t entirely sure that this trip was destined for success since the weather was really iffy and his sleep schedule was such that he’d be awake the entire two hour and twenty minute drive to the Zoo. By the time we arrived, he seemed a bit tired from the trip and I definitely was. After a few sites though we were both rejuvenated and tearing through the park.
A lot of you who read this blog live in the greater New York City area. If you haven’t take the time to go to the Bronx Zoo, you really aren’t taking advantage of one of the true treasures in the city. Having just spent some time in Animal Kingdom in Disney, I have to say that the Bronx Zoo is a close second! There were certain aspects that were even better than Animal Kingdom, like the fact that the Gorillas were literally inches from our faces! Ryan got a big kick out of that. All in all, it was a successful trip and really highlights why this blog is so great. I have some great pictures below but what I really want to remember was the adventure that the little man and I went on. Were we scared to do something without mom? Yeah, I’d say a little. You could tell a few times Ryan looked at me as if to say, “umm, Dad, Mom wipes my mouth after lunch…duh” and I looked at him a few times like, “umm, Ryan, don’t freak out on me in the car because I don’t want to pull over on the Thruway.” We got through it though next time I think Mom makes it all that much more fun. |
