Well, this weekend was the weekend he came to town!!! His plane didn't land until later in the afternoon, so I needed something to pass the time with the girls. Well, wouldn't you know that the Point Defiance Zoo would come up with something... A brand new baby tiger cub!
So early Saturday morning, the girls and I got up and headed straight for the zoo. We go there as soon as they opened the gates -- I know better than to wait around for the zoo on a pretty spring day as there would be no parking spots available. As soon as we got through the gates, we made a beeline for the nursery. And boy were we in for a surprise -- it was feeding time. A sleepy baby tiger getting bottle fed? The gushing over the cuteness could not be contained.
We also spent time feeding the Budgies, petting the sting rays, and watching the sharks get fed.
Best of all, we got our own personal show from the peacock... Talk about a showoff!!!!
Finally, I got the phone call I had been waiting for and we were on our way to pick up Jim and his friend. We quickly decided to head down to the waterfront and stroll around there for a bit and get some supper. We took him to Ivar's (of course), walked around the market, and browsed through Ye' Olde Curiosity Shop. Unfortunately, the time to say goodbye came too quick and we were back on our way home.
