As I mentioned in my last post, one of the things that makes travel tolerable is that frequently my family gets to come along. Such was the case this week when I spent a couple of days in Erie, PA. We spent yesterday afternoon at the Erie Zoo (BTW-who knew Erie had a zoo) (also- lots of rhyming and alliteration in that last aside).

The Erie Zoo is small but very walkable and the animals are very close. Great for taking pictures. We were able to see pretty much everything in about two hours. The highlight was two rhinos facing each other down (will be the next post). Also, since I’ve had zero time this week to do any walking it was nice to just be out in the sun for a change. Check out the photo stream of the zoo here.

One other note, since last year, we have visited zoos in Tampa, Cleveland, Akron, Toledo, Pittsburgh, and now Erie and not paid entrance into any of them with our zoo membership. For inexpensive fun, you can’t beat it.
