Spring Break Adventure Day 1


Sam and his cousins shared an overnight adventure to St. Paul during spring break. Our first stop was the Como Park Zoo and Conservatory.

We got caught up watching a family of orangutans interact, two bison chase each other around their outdoor pen, and the polar bear swim past the viewing area window.

The warmth and humidity of the Conservatory pushed away Duluth's still-lingering cold. The boys were enthralled by the giant ferns, the koi ponds, fountains and the Japanese garden. I was delighted by the flowers in the sunken garden, the bonsai collection and the fern room.
