Packard Museum Dayton, OH--Part 2

 Here are the final shots to wrap up our visit to the Packard Museum.

Packard Museum: Dayton, OH--PART 1

One of our two stops in Dayton, Ohio was to visit the Packard Museum. The other was Carillion Park to see the Wright Brothers replica bicycle shop. It seems Henry Ford moved their real shop up to Michigan. Go figure. But...before we share Carillion Park, here's PART ONE of snapshots of classic Packard Automobiles.

PART TWO to follow!

Karen Walks With, Talks With, and Feeds the Animals

We made several stops along our road trip to California. One of which was Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs. It's a small but well laid-out, up-close and personal zoo, wedged into the mountain side. Here are some photos of Karen enjoying the zoo!

Karen has a meaningful conversation with a female gorilla. 

This gorilla selected Karen from the crowd, came over to sit next to her at the window, and then engaged Karen in eye-to-eye, hand-to-hand communication for about five minutes. 

All in all, it was a cool day at the "zoo with a view".

A look back at the giraffe enclosure.

Unfortunately, tickets to hand-feed and pet the alligators, lions, and bears weren't available while we were there.
