Zoo Atlanta

We decided to take a small road trip to Atlanta, Ga. Brandon was able to get a few days off work and we decided to get out of boring Knoxville and actually do something. Our morning started at 6:30 am and we were on the road by 7am. Its about a 3 1/2 hour drive so we were there by 10:30 am. We went straight to Zoo Atlanta as soon as we got there. It was so fun. I forgot how much I love animals!
I think these boars were either flirting or fighting! I am going to go with flirting because I don't remember them being angry. It's always nice to watch animals act naturally.
This is one of my favorite pictures! There were two gorillas and they were splashing in the water. It was so cute!
These are two of my favorite animals! I just love the patterns! Its so intricate and unique!
By the end of the day this is how we were feeling! We just wanted to kick back and relax in the sun. I have never seen a kangaroo so up close and they are weird looking. Just their bone structure and their back legs.
Well after we finished up at the zoo we decided to go looking for our hotel. It was a nightmare! We were relying only on the mapquest directions we had printed out. But mapquest does not take into consideration road construction! All ramps to the interstate were closed so we had to take surface streets and downtown Atlanta is nothing but one-way streets. So you can only imagine! Luckily we were able to find it ok and laugh about the fact that we were driving around in circles!
