After some last minute discussions and schedule shuffling, we decided to go to the Louisville Zoo. Silly me, I thought the zoo would be fairly desserted since school is out. I figured there wouldn't be hordes of children on fieldtrips, just individual family groupings so I naively said we should meet at the zoo entrance. Ha!
