Cheyenne Mountain Zoo




Whitney came to visit us the second week of March and we ventured out to see something new. On Saturday it was a nice warm day so we went to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs. I had heard before that it was unique because of animal encounters and the fact that it is the only mountain zoo in the country. We did not experience the whole zoo or visit the Will Rogers shrine because walking up the mountain wore us out and Sean was just getting over Pneumonia. The Giraffes loved Sean and walked away when Whitney came near (at least when I tried to take a picture). For those of you putting together a list of things to do when you come to see us in Colorado this zoo's website is http://www.cmzoo.org/.

We left the zoo and went to downtown Colorado Springs where St. Patrick's day festivities were underway and we decided to skip the green food and whiskey and enjoy cold water and good Mexican food. With the exercise, warm day and full stomachs I drove home while Sean and Whitney enjoyed a 45 minute nap. I miss you Whitney. I hope you, Josh and Lola move this way when you graduate!
