Journey from a jar....I mean...a far....

Thursday Spongebob woke up in Seattle, Washington.  Great weather for a day at the Woodland Park Zoo.  Timing is everything at a zoo.  If you aren't there at just the right time, many of the animals will be inside and out of sight.  We timed it right.  We saw lions, and the male let everyone know he was in charge.  We saw giraffes, elephants, gorillas, wallabies, monkeys, two huge grizzly bears, elk, wolves, a gorgeous leopard and hippos.  We watched a raptures bird show, and fed tropical birds. 

Spongebob was taking a rest on GJW's shoulder and was nearly eaten by a bronze raven.

Then he had his picture taken with a Kimodo Dragon.  Does he have a disinterested look on his face?

No, not Spongebob.....the Dragon!

GJW and JTW were most interested in the Gorillas.  There were several and they were active while we were watching.  Here's another eye-spy.  Can you find him?

From Seattle to Portland to Bridal Veil Falls

This is where Bob got slugged.

And then a VERY long drive to Grandma and Grandpa's house.

So now for a little diversion.  Remember the Moose, traveling with us as Proxy for CSW?  Well, what is the first thing CSW would do at Grandma's house?  Same thing all of you do the minute you walk in the door.  You make a beeline for the _ _ _ _ _ _     _ _ _.

And there were no disappointments

GJW found something to do during the hot part of the day.  Some kids never grow up.  Can you find Spongbob in GJW's creation?

This is the end of the vacation travels.  But since we have been back home.....there has been a new and unusual twist to the saga. 

More to come......soon.
