Bronx Zoo

During the last full week of summer vacation, we made a trip to the Bronx Zoo.  If I'm being honest, I have to admit that I have a love/hate relationship with zoos.  I want them to be filled with exotic and interactive animals, but at the same time, I don't think it's right that exotic animals are outside of their habitat and stuck in a zoo.  I know, I know - I'm crazy.  Anyway, over the years we have heard so many amazing things about the Bronx Zoo we decided to make the trip.  The zoo was great - so huge that we were exhausted from walking by the end of the day, filled with all sorts of animals - but when we talked about it on the way home, all four of us said that we would not be interested in making a return trip.  Considering that we are all huge animal lovers, I'm not sure why we didn't "click" with the Bronx Zoo, but one visit was enough.

The tiger feeding, which we just happened to stumble upon, was the hi-light of the day.
