One nice thing about the location we live in now is that we have many cities around us that are only a few hours away that we can take a day trip to...one of these is Memphis. So Adam and I decided to take advantage of the short 2 1/2 hour drive there and make a day trip out of it. We started with going to the Memphis Zoo & Aquarium and then ended at a sushi restaurant called Sakura. Even though it was a very hot day to be outside in the sun all day at the zoo, we had such a wonderful time! The sushi experience was fun as well...we had sushi on our honeymoon and loved it but neither of us had ever actually ordered it in a restaurant so that was an adventure, but we were successful in ordering some yummy maki sushi rolls :) All in all, Adam and I were so refreshed from the day away...sometimes it is just good to get out of Columbus, Mississippi!
So after ALL the redlights on our way in, to top it all off we got stuck behind this guy picking up cones the whole way into the entrance of the zoo..haha I can laugh about it now :)
Awww soo cute!
Amos' close relative! :)
This guy was HUGE!
I thought this bird was going to either attack me or do the deed on my head...luckily made it out safe :)
We got to see the Polar Bear feeding...so cool!!
We also got to see the Panda Bear feeding...above is him just chilling and chomping on some bamboo.
We went to the Sea Lion show..impressive!
