I woke up at 7:00am, thinking the mattress felt a lot more comfortable the day before. Victoria got up an hour later.

I showed Victoria the web site for the site I wanted to visit. . We showered and dressed and headed out to go to the Virginia Safari Park. As soon as we got outside, I realized I needed a sweatshirt. Chilly!

Set the GPS for the address and left at 11:30am for the park. It took an hour and fifteen minutes to get there. We passed lots of cows and farms. It started to sprinkle but never really advanced to anything I would call rain. We stopped for gas before entering the park. We entered the drive thru window, I said a prayer for window to work, and we paid 32.50 for one adult, one child, and 4 buckets of feed.

We got out and walked to the Safari Village where we saw tigers, monkeys, birds, and fed the giraffes. It was pretty cold outside and we finished looking at the animals and headed to our car.

Victoria sat in the back initially, with the sliding van door open. We drove slowly along the path, seeing llamas, ostriches, deer, pot bellied pigs and other animals which are all named in the handy dandy guide they give you. You are not allowed to leave your car, and you can't touch cows, bison or zebras. Victoria did not want to feed the ostriches because she did not like their pecking. It was fun to drive through and we did it twice. Once was probably enough.

It was 4:30pm and we hit the road to head back. A quick fast food dinner and we were back by 6:30pm. My sinuses were killing me. I think the animal park made it worse.
