We just got back from a few days in Gulf Shores. Perfect weather - not too hot, nice and cool in the mornings, no rain.
Rumors abounded that there were sharks in the water, but we never saw any.
We went to the zoo this time - never been there before this trip. This is the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo. What fun!
If you've been watching "The Little Zoo That Could" on Animal Planet, then you already know Patti Hall, and Cyndi Johnson, and all the folks who evacuated all 300+ animals...THREE times in the past year to protect them from hurricanes. Their story is amazing, and their zoo is terrific!
They are hand-raising three Bengal tiger cubs this summer, and the cubs come out to play twice a day. These kittens are just too cute. Patti and Cyndi take them home every night to bottle-feed. The cubs are on loan from a private breeding facility, and they'll be in Gulf Shores until the end of August.
It is worth a trip to Alabama just to see them!
And, plus...there's the beach...
