Columbus Zoo & Aquarium
We were at the zoo for a few days, so please allow for costume changes as we cover the 580 acres. Before anything else, this is our prize picture of the entire trip!!! I had made the very adult choice to have funnel cake for lunch. I set the guys up and left them to…

Johnny Morris Wonders of Wildlife National Museum & Aquarium, Springfield, Missouri
Attached to the Bass Pro Shop Flagship store in Springfield, Missouri, this is by far the best aquarium I have been to yet!
