Yesterday truly sucked. I was cold, wet, and miserable. In contrast, today was awesome. I went to the zoo, the Japanese Tea Gardens, and an old diner that had fabulous four berry cobbler. And I got a stuffed okapi at the zoo! It was expensive, but definitely worth it since I have never seen a stuffed okapi anywhere before, and it's my second favorite animal (my favorite is the red panda, but the zoo had none). I should add that I went to the zoo because I was able to get two free tickets because I work in the hospitality industry and it's National Tourism Week. :D So it was cheap and fun!
