We spent a long weekend in Ogunquit, Maine again for our fall getaway. We were pleasantly surprised by the size of York's Wild Kingdom zoo. The abundance of exotic animals (lions, white bengal tiger, wildebeast, kangaroo, many species of bird, monkey, reptile, rodent, etc) and interactions (duck pond, deer and goat feedings-during which Megan sang "BaBa Black Sheep") made this an exeptional experience, and almost overlooked. I haven't been to this zoo for so long, I couldn't remember anything, but it boasts itself as the biggest in Maine. On our rainy day, we visited Portland's Children's Museum of Maine. It was fun, but probably more so for older kids. On the beach, Megan was less afraid of the ocean's waves and we had one really nice beach day to enjoy it. She decorated her own kite for the annual kite festival. Megan also enjoyed a ride abord the "Molly" trolley. In our small hotel room, we entertained her by reading Dr. Seuss's "Clam I am" and giving her some wax lips to chew on (they last forever and don't stain). She did not sleep well in the pack and play, so she tried out the twin bed instead (surrounded by pillows) with success. Daddy hopes that Megan will have a friend vacation with her in the near future. Our place
in Maine is the best place in the world to us.
I had recently attended a two day sports medicine conference in Providence, Rhode Island, and Christina and Megan came up one day to go to Providence's Roger Williams Zoo and Park. The park was interesting because it had a miniature Washington D.C. monument park. They also visited a children's museum before meeting up with me for dinner in Providence's 3 story mall.
