Today Caroline went with Mommy and Marmee to Zoo Atlanta (yes, I wrote that correctly...that's how it goes in the ATL). Caroline had a blast checking out all the amazing animals. Giraffes, flamingos, elephants, gorillas, monkeys, and meerkats were just some of the animals that caught her eye. Her catch phrase for the day was "whoa!" every time she saw a new animal. Mommy and Marmee were pretty impressed too. Many of the animals were soaking up the warm sun and taking siestas when we visited their habitats. The pandas were out cold as was the lion when we walked by. Mommy kept wishing she could take an afternoon nap stretched out in the sun!
Before we left the zoo we had to hit up the gift shop, of course. Caroline was very particular about the stuffed animal she wanted. She said "no" to a wide variety of creatures before finally nodding "yes" to an elephant! Before heading back home, we enjoyed a tasty lunch out at a restaurant overlooking the historic Oakland Cemetery. Marmee was delighted not only to be enjoying a delicious lunch, but to be doing to next to some great historical scenery :) Caroline was a gem throughout the entire outing and must have been excited too much by all the fun because boy did she fight taking her afternoon nap! Don't worry, Mommy finally settled the little monkey down for her snooze. :)
