We decided to go to the NC Zoo a few days before Christmas. What a great way to spend a perfect-weather day! While the rest of the area was out shopping, we enjoyed exploring the zoo with zero crowds and going at our own pace. The NC Zoo is divided into two different areas (Americas and Africa) with about a 1-1/2 mile path connecting them. The Zoo prides itself on being the largest zoo in America, but that 1-1/2 mile path has no animals so I think that may be a creative way to win 1st place for biggest zoo. :) We explored the Americas area and loved it! It was the best way to spend a few hours as a family.
Of course, Sam and Andrew had to pose by the Soggy Bottoms sign.
One of their favorite exhibits was the CA Sea Lion enclosure. We watched from the top as the sea lions raced around the tank and then discovered we could watch from underwater windows. If it weren't for the strong fishy smell, we could have stayed and watched for much longer. It was graceful to watch these two sea lions swim.
