I love zoos!

The first time I visited a zoo, I was two weeks old. That is because my father loved zoos, too.

We moved a lot while I was growing up. But, no matter where we lived, my father always took me to visit the local zoo on weekends, even if the "local" zoo was a hundred miles away!

Of course, when we traveled, we always stopped at every zoo along the way, even if that meant going out of the way.

Throughout my childhood, parenthood, and now, my second childhood, I have loved zoos and continued the tradition my father started of visiting a zoo almost every weekend.

I believe zoos are for people of all ages, not just for children or adults with children.
