Giraffes and Ice Cream Cones
October 11, 2010
For our Friday night date night, the hubbie and I went to the zoo for their annual “Brew at the Zoo” charity event. The highlight was (surprisingly) not all the free beer and food samples. The highlight for me was some alone time with these tall guys and gals.
I love giraffes. I love them because they are tall like me. I think their skin color is breathtaking. I was able to feed a giraffe but darn my camera phone. The photo came out really blurry. I need a new phone, but that’s a story for another day and a wish for Christmas. But I did get this cool shot. Check out her huge tongue!
On Saturday night we all went out for a family dinner at The Cheesecake Factory. I was craving some avocado egg rolls. And a glass of pinot. The kids love the bread basket and they split the pasta dish from the kids menu. (That was a tip from our waiter and he was right. It was an enormous portion.) We walked over to the ice cream parlor for dessert. We ate our drippy cones outside on a bench while the sun was setting.
Annabel was done first and opted to do a little light reading while she waited.
You gotta love Florida. We’ll still be hanging outside in our T-shirts and shorts (and Hello Kitty skirt sets) for at least another month. Happy October.
