A Day at the Zoo

I was blown away by the Lincoln Park Zoo.  Not because it's the best zoo I've ever been to or it had some crazy animal no other place does.  The Lincoln Park Zoo has two things going for it:  the location and the price.  It's a pretty big zoo (much larger than I was expecting anyway) and it's inside the even bigger Lincoln Park.  To have such a large zoo in an urban setting is really a unique experience.  You don't feel like you're in one of the largest cities in the country until you look above the animals and notice the city skyline in the background.  The fact that it's totally free is also awesome.  I can see myself coming back here again and again.

I was totally floored to see Flamingo's.  Reminds me of home...
