Heron, Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
And found a new zoo!! Ohhhh…..Oh 11 zoos in 12 days just got bigger!!
Zoo # 11 of 11 zoos in 12 days. The National Aviary, Pittsburgh.
Should we drive a few 30 miles out of the way to tack on another zoo? Why not? More like, Hell Yes!! What better way to breakup a 600 plus driving day but with a visit to ANOTHER zoo, a surprising and charming 2 hour visit at that, at the National Aviary! Seriously impressive Pittsburgh, Bravo… You had us at The Pittsburgh Zoo, we might just have to come back to your fine city again! As my co-pilot pointed out though, this DOES throw off the symmetry of 11 zoos in 12 days! With one maybe 2 to go, I’m not sure what to make of 12 in 12 days, or 13 in 12…. Do i hear 14 in 13?
