The Dallas Zoo

We got into Dallas Texas yesterday after the cast did a student show in Oklahoma. We were all excited to have 4 days off in Dallas. Sue's husband and daughter flew into Dallas to spend the weekend with her and Mikey. They were sweet enough to invite us to dinner with them. We are staying in a beautiful hotel, but there aren't any restaurants within walking distance. Mike rented a van, so they could fit us and the Araujos in if needed. Today the majority of us went to the Dallas Zoo. It was a gorgeous day and perfect weather to explore the zoo. We absolutely loved walking throughout the zoo. We managed to see the majority of exhibits before we had to get back on the bus. My absolute favorite animal was a little duck of some sort. It looked like a cross between a baby duck and a baby platypus. I could have watched him for hours waddling along, he was so cute! I got Clare's approval to bring him on tour with us, but unfortunately the zoo wouldn't cooperate, lol! Colin couldn't point out his favorite animal, but said that the lemurs were one of his favorites. They were hysterical. One adult lemur came out from the building to join the rest and all of a sudden they all started "screaming". Sue said they were having a domestic dispute, haha! The baby lemurs had to even join in, they looked like little wolves howling only in a high pitch.
We had lunch and then Alaggio and Chaz joined us for the rest of the day. Colin mapped out our schedule for the remainder of our time. The first stop was the monorail (sue and I liked the idea of sitting for awhile!) The monorail took us all around the zoo. By the time we got off we had just enough time to check out the gift shop and load the bus. We got back to the hotel and rested a bit before joining the Morleys and Araujos for dinner at an italian restaurant.
We're all looking forward to joining the boys on their fieldtrip to the JFK museum where we will see where his assassination took place. We'll be there the day before the 45th anniversary of his death.
Well that's it for now. I'll write more tomorrow to tell you all about the museum.
