Our untrip to the Fort Worth Zoo


We should have known better: Spring Break, coupled with half-price admission day, mixed with a bad economy and the trend to "staycation" ... it's a recipe for disaster. We made it to the entrance of the Fort Worth Zoo* but could not justify turning in. Where would we park? How would we be able to see monkeys among the hordes of people? So we postponed our sojourn to the zoo until a date uncertain. Instead, we ate our picnic lunches at Trinity Park, played at one of the playgrounds, rode the very cool mini train and called it a day. The monkeys (mine and the zoo's) will have to wait a bit.

*Today set an attendance record at the zoo: 23,000 visitors. Yikes!
