We loaded up in the pimping SUV again and drove to Syracuse. Again we took the scenic route, the official directions to the zoo suggested the thruway. How boring.
It was a small zoo with even smaller habitats. But that is based off our other zoo experiences, like the NC Zoo, where the habitats are large enough for animals to go hide and you don't see them.
A red panda, so cute!
Good thing the lion is sleeping.
Some funny looking penguins.
We were walking towards the penguin exhibit and Nicholas proclaimed, "It's my lucky day!" Penguins meant a lot to him, for that day at least.
After the zoo we were starving for lunch. We went to the nearest Friendly's. Travis had a grilled cheese and mixed veggies. Nicholas held out for ice cream, double cone with chocolate and vanilla. (I convinced Adrian to let it slide just this once since we were on vacation.) I didn't eat my fries so I could have a fruit and sherbet sundae. Adrian ate his patty melt and had a Reese's Friend-z. I guess he realized he was on vacation too.
Passed out boy #1.
Passed out boy #2.
After their car-ride naps, and a little relaxing at the hotel, we went to dinner at Denny's in Rome again. It's a good family restaurant and they don't herd you in and out really fast like at some restaurants. The menu is very picky-eater friendly with lots of side dishes. We were able to hang out and talk with Adrian's parents. I promised Nicholas I would make two attempts at the claw machine in the lobby. On my first grab at a teddy bear, it fell. I scoped out both machines for another possible toy that seemed easy to grab. Everything was crammed in tight, apparently there had been issues with people shaking the machines. So I went for the teddy bear again, and score! We are now proud owners of a teddy bear wearing a NY Giants t-shirt.

Are you sure that's not a panda-fox-coon (little-known Asian-American trybrid)?
