Toby proposed we head to the zoo for a bit, as I'd expressed a wish earlier in the week to go there at some point and take photos. I jumped at the idea, as I was stresse3d out about the Seekrit Projekt and waiting for Mom to finish proofreading it. (You'll know about it when I can mention it in public.)
It was crowded* and warm, which is to be expected, and we spent about 2 hours there before I got headachy, cranky, and stomach-crampy (either dehydration, even though I had a bottle of water and was drinking it, or the not-very-good tacos I ate there for lunch). Went home at that point, but I did get some good photos with my new 70-300mm lens. Woo!
( cut for pics )* Although I have been to the zoo during Spring Break on Half-Price Wednesday, so I no longer fear hell.
