our 1 year. and the bronx zoo!

so, according to my standards...september 18th was the date of my one year anniversary...although some critics believe it was august 26th...and so we've agreed to disagree on that one.

anyhow..we decided that a trip to the bronx zoo would be an excellent way to celebrate, neither of us being the fancy dinner or roses type, it was just perfect...although somehow i did end up with a rose out of this. hmm.

so we took the subway right on up there and hopped off and in we went to the bronx zoo. memories of my last visit, in 3rd grade, with my mom as a chaperone for the school trip quickly flashed back. boy did i like that chris wystepek back then. ha.

we went big and got the "do it all" pack...meaning the monorail, skyride, gorillas, and all...which was well worth it. especially because i had never done the skyride, or tiger mountain! the gorillas were our favorite, especially my little guy. the kids that were there were banging on the windows and sticking their tongues out at the little guy and he came over to the window and did it right back to them! it was great. he was great, i was just about ready to take him home.

we also enjoyed the polar bear- who wil says is really mean- and i wouldn't like if i really met him. and the tigers! those on tiger mountain, that is, not to be confused with the ones on the monorail.

we took many photos and thoroughly enjoyed our day with the animals. an fantastic way to celebrate, in my humble opinion.
