This past Friday Tom and I went to the NC Zoo in Asheboro, the last time I’d gone was when I was in elementary school.

We had a great time, it was so nice to get away and spend the whole day together since I’ve been so busy with work and getting settled into my new life here in Raleigh.

I had forgotten how HUGE the zoo is! It took us 4 hours to go from one end to the other and we still didn’t have time to see everything.

This polar bear was so cute, he looked so sleepy. He kept nodding off watching all the people through the glass.

Tom the buffalo whisperer.

This bear was so funny, he was chilling out near a cave, then decided he was hot and sauntered over to the pond and just plopped down in there. He stayed in this spot for a while cooling off.

Seeing the gorillas was pretty exciting, there were a couple females sitting on a rock near us and then all of a sudden the big male ran over and confronted them for some reason. At first it looked like he was going to run right into glass separating us and their habitat. He was MASSIVE.

The elephants were pretty cute too.

We had a great day, and took some great pictures. Tom’s are really great, hopefully he’ll post some on his blog soon.
