oh my!...wait, this post has nothing to do with The Wizard of Oz.
We did, however, see lots of animals today at the Los Angeles Zoo.
I know we should have figured out a way to make it to the San Diego Zoo, but we were a little unsure about driving around here and figured LA's would at least be better than our zoo at home.
Despite the 97 degree weather, losing $40 bucks at an ATM, paying $160 for a taxi, we still managed to have a great day. We decided yesterday that our theme for the trip would be "float on" and it definitely helped us keep a positive attitude today.

This is how Anne spent much of the day...such a sweet daddy :)

We LOVED the koala bears! I think Anne wanted to take one home!

Here are a few things I'm thinking about Los Angeles:
-For the most part, the people have been super friendly.
-The cost of a taxi is A LOT more than I expected.
-It takes a long time to get anywhere.
-The LAX airport is one of the busiest places I've ever seen. We've got a great view of the landing strip from our hotel we're staying in this weekend and I swear there is a plane that lands ever 2-4 minutes.
We are really excited to visit a couple of local churches tomorrow, but will definitely be missing our CrossPointe family!
Hope you all are having a great weekend!
hugs from LA,
Dawn

During this week, restaurants have meal deals with set menus for a much more affordable price! I think they may even have it for restaurants near the hotel.
BTW - What was the running method called again?!
