Austin Zoo

I love the National Zoo in Washington, DC but we discovered our local zoo here in Austin and it's pretty neat, it's a very intimate setting and you are extremely close to the animals...almost scary close! I don't think I've ever seen a lion or tiger that up close before. It did make me a little nervous but it was so amazing to be able to see their true beauty up close and personal. Another neat feature at the Austin Zoo & Animal Sanctuary is that they have a fairly large petting zoo where you can feed the animals. It was fun way to end the 3 day weekend!
