We picked a good day to go to the Zoo last Saturday. Free Parking! Beautiful weather and a slight breeze. There were lots of visitors that day so we took off for Africa to avoid the crowds at the front gate. Very beautiful Zoo and in a spacious area. Well kept walking paths with flowers and blooming trees all along. Benches were all along the paths for resting or sitting and eating your ice cream. Very good! We were able to walk to the back part of Africa and catch the ferry back to the Entrance to Africa where you could catch the Tram to take you back up the hill. The line was long so I walked and my husband rode his scooter back up the hill. Didn't take long and we were by the Sea Lions and just in time to see the Show. Stand back if you don't want to be wet. It was a good day to just enjoy being outside after all the cold weather we had. Saw the baby giraffe Dixie. At first I thought she was a statue but then she started running. So beautiful!
