Someone told me it’s all happening at the Zoo

29 05 2008

I had the pleasure of hosting my sister and her husband over Memorial Day weekend.  Though they live in NJ, they’ve visited the Bay Area many times.   So when the inevitable ”let’s go somewhere different” request was made, I was at a loss.  Since it was nice enough to actually spend time outside and being unable to think of anything “different”, I suggested a day at the SF Zoo.   Now, I have not personally been to the zoo in over a decade.   My recollection was that it was a depressing place where animals were cramped in barren concrete enclosures.   Well, was I ever pleasantly surprised.    Many significant improvements have been made to the facilities in the intervening years.  In fact, my partner (who hadn’t been to the zoo in a decade either) said that he’d been to the SF Zoo, but not to *this* SF Zoo.    If you haven’t journeyed anywhere near the Doggie Diner sign for a while, I highly recommend you take a another look at our *new & improved* zoo.    I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised too.
