Day Trippers
Today, @uncutsaniflush and i decided to take advantage of the beautiful day and go for a short day trip. I was in a picture snapping mood...
The dash screen of our lovely Toyota Prius, a mere 15 minutes into our journey. Love love love what the temperature reading was telling us.. and the MPG -- 52.2! Woo hoo!
The New York State Thruway... gotta love them tolls.
This guy is telling us we are going the right way...
Right on in to PA...
We stopped for lunch.. but i am so sorry, @paul, i forgot to take pics of our eats.
On our way to the Erie Zoo, we see this structure. It looks like an air traffic controllers tower. Once closer, we saw a sign that it is a plastics factory of some sort, but i can't imagine the length of plastic they make in which they would need a tower like that!
Ah, cute kitties will solve all the world's problems.. unless you are on a lower level of the food chain...
These birds, blue and gold macaws, to be more precise, were inside a building that had exhibits in it, but when we went inside, there was a door saying "Employees Only"... i hope they get paid more than just bird seed!
Fishies!
And there were also plants in the small greenhouse...
And Polar Bears playing... awwee...
And gay giraffe. Both of these giraffe are males. Tried my best to get pictures of them having fun, but oral sex was about the closest i could get.
Also tried to get some examples of just how large an errect giraffe penis is (did anyone know they acutally unfold. not just slide out?!?), but this guy was camera shy, i think...
On to more wholesome things... in the kids part, swimming penguins. Usually, when we are there, they are fussing about on land. Finally, we saw them swim!
Orangoutangs. Adorable baby...
Beautiful mommy...
A drive around Presque Isle was so nice in weather like this. I forgot to take a snap of the entrance, so this will just have to do...
Nice sandy beach on the windward side of this Lake Erie barrier island...
And out of Erie, PA. We saw a lot of these frogs about town today. I guess they are like the buffalo seen about town here, the bears about town in Knoxville and the hideous giant moose that Toronto had a few years back...
And finally, back home...
