Ohio: The Columbus Zoo

We went to the world-famous Columbus Zoo, home of Jack Hanna, which is a lot more like an amusement park than I remember it being (crowded and lots of chances to spend extra money after you get inside), but was still a lot of fun once we got into the part where the actual animals were.

They have a cool aquarium where we got to see manatees and some cool fish:

Here is Abigail checking out the flamingos with Grandpa:

Here is Abigail checking out the real gorillas (there are a bunch):

and posing with Grandpa and a giant gorilla:

Abigail also got to be up close and personal with the Bonobos:

It is a huge zoo so we only made it through part before we had to head home for lunch and nap, but it will be fun to keep coming back on future visits as Abigail gets older!
