OHHHHH- HI- O

Roadtrip!! A view of Cincinnati from KY! 

So you will have to forgive me, this post is not about Kentucky but a trip to Cincinnati, Ohio! It is just a hop, skip and a jump over the Ohio River from Lexington. I went to visit fellow QU PT James who is doing a rotation at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. He was kind enough to give me a tour of the city and University of Cincinnati, Reds and Bengals stadiums, and then we went to the......drumroll please.... ZOOO! It was SOOO fun! We made sure we saw every inch of the Zoo and didn't miss any animals! It was great to chat and catch up while observing some of the most fascinating creatures God created, I mean seriously He's pretty creative with all those zebra's, tigers, and manatees to name a few.

About the Zoo: 

• The Zoological Society of Cincinnati was founded in 1873 and officially opened its doors in 1875, making the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden the second oldest Zoo in the United States (Philadelphia Zoo is the oldest) 
• The zoo conducts breeding programs, and was the first to successfully breed California Sea Lions. The zoo also has other breeding programs including cheetahs, Sumatran rhinoceros, Malayan tigers, Western Lowland Gorilla, Pottos, and Masai giraffes. 
• Three Bonobos were born at the zoo last year, two in March and one in May, along with another birth in December 2003. 
• The Cincinnati Zoo was the home of Martha, the last living passenger pigeon, which died there in 1914. It was also home to the last living Carolina parakeet in 1918.

James- figuring out our next stop!
