A Leisurely Drive to the Zoo

Thanks to Jonathon Woods

When looking for something laid back and leisurely to do, we sometimes go to the zoo. While we do not have any zoos locally, it means that most times we need to drive a little distance to get there. Our usual destination spots are usually the Pittsburgh Zoo or the Erie Zoo in Pennsylvania. So, on a day when we feel like a little drive, we set our home security system (SecurityChoice.com), hop in the car and go!

While most people enjoy going to the zoo on a warm, summer day, we enjoy going on days when it is cloudy or slightly raining. For one, the heat is not blazing down on us, and two, the crowds are smaller. Children tend to be less cranky and fussy when it is too hot, and besides, a little rain never hurt anyone. We do take our umbrellas though!

The favorite attractions at the zoo happen to be the monkeys. We could spend all day just watching them interact with each other. It truly is amazing! A lot of zoos also have shows that go on throughout the day. Sometimes we take advantage of the many different shows available. Our family interests are quite varied and there are usually enough shows going on to make sure everyone has a good time.
