We had a fun day at the zoo yesterday for Stephen's 40th birthday. It's really a very nice zoo. Not too big, but a good variety of animals, most native to Alaska or from colder climates. The only animal not from a colder climate was the elephant and she had her own indoor playhouse complete with heat and a giant treadmill.

The trails were smooth and wide. Very wheelchair accessible, for those who are interested. They had several boardwalk structures with ramps for better animal viewing.
For your viewing pleasure, I posted many photos to our Dropshots page to which you can find a link in the right hand border of this blog. (I also put a link to the Ohio Gang's new Dropshots page...)

Before the zoo, we went to the Arctic Roadrunner which is a landmark burger joint in Anchorage. It's been serving up burgers since 1965... almost prehistoric as far as Alaska is concerned (from the white man's perspective anyway... consumers of burgers). Needless to say, the burgers were scrumptious, the atmosphere was great as well. The restaurant is an old log structure with lots of Alaska decor. Highly recommend it on your next visit to Anchorage.
