I really only need one word for this post: giraffes. I know they had other animals at this zoo, but I'll admit—I had a one-track mind. We got a late start and missed the giraffes stampeding out into their yard, but we had plenty of interaction with them when we got there. A delightful guy named Sean (PR Director) took us on a VIP golf cart tour of the zoo. Then we all hopped out at African Rift Valley. I was prepared to feed giraffes until my money ran out, but Sean surprised us with All-we-could-feed giraffe crackers—for free! I was in heaven. Just think of it—twenty giraffes all wanting to be my best friend. If I remember correctly, we saw a couple elephants, a handful of monkeys, and a moose maybe? But I only had eyes for the giraffes.
