Happy Birthday, Blog!

I can't believe another year has gone by but yesterday was my blog's second  birthday!  The reason why I started this blog in the first place was to have an outlet for myself... and it's been one of the best ways to relieve stress, express myself, and cultivate inspiration.  Not to mention, I've met some sweet fellow bloggers!  Happy Birthday, blog!

Yesterday morning J and I ran in a 10k run to benefit our city's zoo.  I love our zoo and we were so happy to be able to support them (and stay healthy)!  Race participants had free zoo admission post race so I snapped this picture of one of our favorites, the flamingos!  And I also saw the new otter exhibit - they are too cute.

In other news, tax deadline is tomorrow and it definitely can't come soon enough as my anxiety and sensitivity is at an all time high and my hair is literally frazzled!  I've tried not to rant but I can't wait to take a break from the office... and it's inhabitants...!

Zoo Day

I absolutely love visiting zoos!  Our Sacramento Zoo has a special place in my heart because of the time I spent there as a child and since James and I hadn't been in a few years I decided it would be a perfect birthday adventure.

The weather was absolutely gorgeous yesterday - sunny, blue skies!  We had a yummy lunch sitting outside in the sun.

We said hello to the Giraffes (one of my favorites!), reptiles, Lemurs, Tigers, Kangaroos, and we even saw an Anteater for the first time!  What a very strange creature.

I totally enjoyed the sun and warmth, even more so because I haven't had the opportunity to spend much time outside lately.  It was a perfect day!

What is the best zoo you've ever visited?  And what is your favorite zoo animal?
