We spent the day relaxing and visiting with my sister and brother-in-law.....first to a yummy lunch at the Blue Marlin in downtown Columbia, SC.....the a nice long stroll Riverbanks Zoo and Botanical Gardens. They are members so we got in free!!
Lovely place....since it was so chilly, not crowded at all!
Who are those old folks??
The Saluda river bridge. Supprisingly fast current since I thought it was fairly flat terrain.
The botanical garden part was not very attractive since it has gotten below freezing here this year..... I'm not a huge fan of the idea of zoos, but this nicely done.
I'll let you just page thru the photos. The animals all looked extremely well fed and cared for. They did look a bit bored.
Back at home, our cruising buddies would be happy to see that we are continuing the "chicken foot" dominoes game night.
And we got in a bit of prep work for tomorrow's family party. My sis had bought a little gingerbread kit......good fun trying to assemble it.
And we did have a few "fails" like this one where the house tumbled down. Never fear, we rebuilt it and so far it's standing tall.
Going up the stairs to bed around midnight. Fun times!
Jeans, trainers, jackets- def not yr normal attire 🤣, but you’re both looking great.
ReplyDeletePoor animals , how do they cope with the cold when used to savanna climates. 🤷♀️
Agree with you on zoo's. Not a big fan. You guys look good - cold but good.
