Point Defiance Zoo Trip

Well, when Mark and I moved here we decided that we were going to try something new or explore somewhere new each weekend, so that when we leave here we can say "We saw it all." So, last weekend we saw Mamma Mia on Friday, and it was fantastic. Lots of singing and dancing and fun. So, for our new exploratory outing on Sunday, we went to the Point Defiance Zoo, near Tacoma.

The zoo was quite fun. It wasn't too big, so it only took about 1 hour to see all the animals. They had a nice aquarium, monkeys, and the highlight of the zoo....beluga whales! They were putting on a show as we walked by, so we got to see them performing tricks. No zebras, tigers, elephants, rhinos, etc...but all in all a fun little outing.

After the zoo, we were quite hungry, so we decided to try out a cute little antique sandwich shop. We debated between Subway or trying something new. We figured they probably had something very tasty. We should have known better...the sign on the building said "War isn't the answer", and the workers were all hippie/emo. Enough said. The sandwiches had a mound of sprouts on them...not bad, because they can be removed. The kicker was the tea that tasted like shampoo. It was probably something very healthy/hippie-ish...and was all in all disgusting. We asked for sweet n low to help it out...again...we should have known! All they had was natural fiber for sweetening tea, no sweet n low! So the tea went from bad to worse. Next time we will be sticking to Subway.

Next weekend's adventure is a Seattle Mariners game...should be a blast!
