One of the
benefits of working for a large financial services company is that they offer
great perks to their employees; the other weekend was a corporate appreciation weekend
at the Bronx Zoo, and we all got in for free.
We decided
to upgrade our tickets to the “full experience” and were able to take a tram
around the Asia section of the park. We saw deer, wild horses, buffalos, tigers,
elephants, and rhinos.
We also
saw a beautiful peacock, who had gotten out of his area and was just wandering around
the zoo. Alex got a little too close to him for my liking.
The
grounds are so beautiful, especially this time of year.

The seals
are always a favorite attraction, as they are so lively. Alex loved watching
them jump.
The Monkey
House was, unfortunately closed. Maybe next time.

Gorgeous
details.

No stop to
the Bronx Zoo is complete without a ride on the bug carousel.
After
our picnic lunch (we brought our own food), we watched the turtles and then saw
the bears.
It was a
lovely afternoon (and only a subway ride away).
