You know, everyone associates New York with a lot of theatres, right? Well, that’s true of course, but do you know what else New York has a lot of, I mean besides great restaurants and clubs and stuff? It has a lot of zoos. That’s right, I said zoos. Or at least it seemed that way to me when I was there with my family last year. I noticed this when we were in the Bronx and were going to go to the botanical garden. We got lost, like we always tend to do and really got an overall tour of the Bronx that day, but one of the things we found was the zoo.

So, we stopped in and decided to make the Bronx Zoo our destination for the day. It’s funny how my parents can make almost any accident seem like it happened on purpose. Wait a minute, maybe that’s there trick. We drove around for so long that maybe my sister and I were just happy to be anywhere because normally she didn’t like going to zoos, but that day she was just happy to get out of the car and didn’t complain. I think I’m on to something here.

Anyway, the next day my dad and I decided we wanted to go to the Central Park Zoo, which was already on the plan. My mom and sister wanted to go shopping so we had breakfast at the hotel café and went our separate ways. Wait a minute, why would my dad purposely want to go to two zoos two days in a row? I mean, we loved them but my mom and sister don’t. Maybe I was wrong and they really do just make a lot of mistakes and get lost a lot. Anyway, the Central Park Zoo is really cool and we had a great time there. I really liked the Polar Circle with the bears and penguins. I also liked the monkeys though, they’re almost always my favorite. My dad likes big cats, and he really liked the leopard exhibit.
