I love zoos (no, really?!) so when I learned that Europe’s 2nd oldest zoo was the Dublin Zoo (est 1831) it was only natural that I’d spend part of my trip there! So on Tuesday of my trip I met up with Laura bright and early so we could get there when the zoo opened […]

SF Zoo!
August 28th, 2010 by pleia2
On Wednesday I was able to take the afternoon off from work to offset some weekend time I put in last weekend and took the opportunity to take advantage of my new zoo membership. I’d been intending to get a zoo membership since I moved here, and I was delighted to learn that the membership […]
Animals in Vegas (aside from the humans)
July 10th, 2010 by pleia2
I asked a friend of mine for some advice regarding “stuff to see in Vegas” and among her recommendations was to check out the MGM Tigers, along with a mention of tigers at the Mirage. Animals in Vegas? Cool! So I went searching for what other kinds of animals could be found in Vegas and […]

Camden Aquarium and The Abbaye
February 6th, 2010 by pleia2
Last weekend I met up with waltman and we headed down to Camden to go to Adventure Aquarium. Unfortunately it’s winter, so the ferry isn’t running, but the trip over the bridge and through a bit of Camden was not a big problem. First stop at the aquarium was to head out to see the […]

Last weekend my mother was visiting. We ended up spending much of the visit just relaxing, went out to dinner a couple of times, I introduced her to Firefly and she ended up borrowing Tru Calling after she started watching it while I was working on Monday. We did end up heading down to the […]

San Francisco Zoo
October 2nd, 2009 by pleia2
My trip to San Francisco this past weekend was a lot of fun. Lots of yummy food (sushi! thai! gyros! coffees! ice cream!), fantastic company, rug shopping, getting to meet some of the San Francisco portion of the Ubuntu California Team for beers on Saturday night, and a trip to the San Francisco Zoo. Huge […]
Valley Forge
January 10th, 2009 by pleia2
I drive past it several times a month, but the last (and first!) time I was actually at Valley Forge National Historical Park was in 2005 with Michael. I always say I’m going to go back, but it never happens. So last weekend I was coming back from Micro Center having just picked up my […]
The rest of my stay in Florida
December 16th, 2008 by pleia2
Since I wasn’t flying out until Thursday evening, I had a few days to spend with family, which was nice. My mother flew back to Maine Wednesday morning, and that same day my some of my relatives took my grandfather out looking at dogs. He had decided that he’d start looking, and stopped at a […]
