Josh and I went to the zoo today. I must have spent at least fifteen or twenty minutes admiring the giraffes. They are such beautiful creatures... and so graceful! I have vowed to pet a giraffe before I die and today I discovered that if you arrive at the zoo the moment it opens, you can buy a $5 ticket that will allow you to feed them. Today I had to settle for admiration from a distance but next time Josh and I go to the zoo, my goal may become a reality. I can hardly contain my excitement. I always thought I'd have to go on an African safari in order to make this happen...
