Everyone knows Texas weather is crazy. Freezing cold one day, 75 degrees the next. Deep in the middle of January, we got one of those beautiful, spring-like days and decided to take a trip to the Dallas Zoo. We have been over to the zoo in Fort Worth several times, but we'd never made it down to the Dallas Zoo. I had always heard that the zoo in Fort Worth was much nicer, so my expectations were not that high. I was very pleasantly surprised! We had a great visit and will definitely return.
We started off visiting the giraffes:
We arrived just in time for the tiger feeding demonstration:
Not a coat in sight on this beautiful January day:
The kids had their own personal discussions with this gorilla:
My little monkeys with some monkeys that don't move around quite as much:
After checking out many more of the animals, we finished our trip to the zoo with a couple of slushies. From there, since we were so close, we decided to try out a Dallas icon, Fuel City Tacos. As the name implies, they are located in a gas station in South Dallas, but make some delicious, traditional Mexican street tacos. I tried a chicken taco and a barbacoa one, and Tommy tried a couple of other varieties. They were delicious!
This weekend definitely didn't feel like the middle of January, but we definitely had more winter weather in store. Stay tuned!
