Jacksonville Zoo & Geocaching

Since JT is on Spring Break we decided to go to the Jacksonville Zoo. Mom hasn't been in over 20 years and so much has changed since she had been, we decided to call her up and take her with us. It was a great time for the 3 of us to spend some quality time together.

Before we got to the Zoo, we planned to look for a Geocache. I had heard about Geocaching and thought it would be a great activity for me and JT. It's sort of a treasure hunt game that people play all over the world. I started a blog just to track our Geocache efforts, you can find out more and see photos by clicking here.

It was a little overcast, but turned out to be a nice day. Not too hot and we never got any rain. I planned on getting Mom an electric scooter to use while we were there, but they were all rented out by the time we got there. She's embarrassed to use a wheelchair, but she agreed to do so and I pushed her around. It was good exercise for me! We couldn't go up some of the ramps, like to the Africa loop, but for me it was more about spending time together and getting her outside for a few hours.

JT loved having her with us. We spent about 3 hours there and then headed to a late lunch before taking Mom home. It ended up being a good day for all of us.
