Stay-cation 2015

 This weekend we had other plans; but it ended up not being in the budget, so we switched it up to a staycation and had a wonderful time :)

We chose to go to the Zoo and it was so much fun! We actually got to walk the whole place and see all the animals! Which we never get to do with kids in tow.

 The weather was perfect; which meant EVERYONE was at the zoo this day. Ok with us, because no kids = we can go at our own pace and skip things and see over the tiny humans :)

I was pretty bummed on a few Baboons were out. One of my faves!

 

 However, these monkey's were putting on a show. 

This monkey just hung out for about 5 mins letting people take pictures. He then swung around on his tire swing (I was saying 10 mins before that, how the animals never 'play' with their stuff and it bums me out; he must have heard me)

And the other monkey, had a baby!! It was soooo cute!

 We then we on the paddle boats. SO. MUCH. FUN. Tired legs after lol, but it was so fun and it was breezy and we saw a bazillion turtles. Apparently, when people dont want their pets anymore, they drop them off here. So sad. The Zoo then has to go through and remove them and find homes. Dont dump your turtle at the zoo!!

 The pink birds are another fave!! I love the Flamingos and these new pretty birds we saw! I wanted to bring home the bright pink one haha

 After the zoo, we went to our hotel and then headed to dinner and dessert before calling it a night and getting a solid 12 hours of sleep. Much needed rest! The place we went to for dinner was RnR Gastro Bistro. YUM. We got these pork fries (reg and sweet potato fries, topped with white cheddar, pulled pork and bbq sauce) im drooling as I type this and will being going again!) I hope we get to do another stay-cation soon :) maybe for my Birthday..ooooo.
