You read that title right...
The Turner's headed over to New Orleans for the day today.
We took Caroline to the Audubon Zoo & The Aquarium of the America's.
We're only about 2 1/2 hours from New Orleans & it's all interstate..
So I'm thinking this is going to become more regular thing.
Not just for the zoo & aquarium but for all the other great things NOLA has to offer.
[Like Football, Shopping, Gambling & Bourbon Street When I'm Not So Pregnant]
lol ;)
We had a great day though.
We packed our lunch, plenty of snacks and some drinks.
[all about saving a dollar when you can!]
We left Fairhope before 9AM & we were in the zoo before Noon.
Caroline loved it.
She's loved every zoo we've been too but the older she gets the more animated she is about seeing all the different animals.
She was crazy for the monkeys & the flamingos :)
It was adorable.
She made the sound of every animal we saw.
People were getting a kick out of her!
She's always the star of the show lol
After the Zoo we went to the Aquarium across town.
They had so many different exhibits and different themed rooms.
Caroline really liked the sea horses & the otters.
OH, & she loved the frogs [weirdooooo, just kidding].
She kept saying "ribbit, ribbit, ribbit" through the whole exhibit.
It was a productive day, I'm so glad we did it!
It's something I would definitely do again!
Anyone thinking about going to this zoo & aquarium... the only recommendations
that I have would be to:
1) Purchase the combo pack (it will save you money)
2) Purchase your tickets online before you go if possible (it will save you time)
3) Check New Orleans community calendar for the week your wanting to go (it will save you frustration)
^^we went during Fan Fest & 2 days before the Sugar Bowl.
meaning there were people everywhere!
Still enjoyed it, there were just a ton of people!
Just my 2 cents :)
