Lake Superior Zoo

After a fairly quick drive up to Duluth we made it to our first stop which was the Lake Superior Zoo. We didn't get there quite as early as we wanted but that is to be expected with a potty training toddler traveling with you and a husband who also needs to stop and pee and a wife who planned to stop in Hinckley regardless if anyone had to pee because she really wanted some of their cinnamon rolls for the trip! We also needed to hit the bank in St. Paul before we actually left. Oh well...we made it and had a good time even though it was hot and right over Linnea's usual naptime. I think this Zoo is very comparable to the Como Zoo by us. We ate our picnic lunch by the grizzly bear, saw some sleeping otters, wolves, monkeys, deer, kangaroos, prairie dogs and a whole bunch of nocturnal animals in a dark building which Linnea loved. She also loved the train we got to ride around. it was just a short 5 minute ride around a path we had already walked on but she was in heaven being on the choo choo. And she thought she was a queen since she waved at everyone we went by! After getting hot looking at the animals and playing briefly at the park it was definitely time to get a cold treat and head to our lil Inn on Gitchi Gummi on the scenic drive between Duluth and Two Harbors. Next post will be about that cute place!
