Ron, Ella and I went to Zoo Atlanta today. The weather was gorgeous, low 80's but with no humidity. The zoo itself wasn't spectacular, but it was quiet and a nice day out. Because it is a school day, there were no crowds, just other people with small children. 
It was an almost perfect day at the zoo. We saw the regular zoo inhabitants: a few elephants, zebras, a giraffe, some birds, a giant panda. My favorite of course were the gorillas. I love them!
One male charged and beat his chest at us and there were a lot of females with babies on their backs; one mama with twins...adorable. Here's a pic of one of them. Everytime it tried to wander off, it'd only get so far and then whap mama would drag it back with her long arms.
There were a lot of animals that we didn't see as they were resting out of sight or at some place in their habitat out of view. We heard lions, but never saw any, a rhino's pen - no rhino. Ella was more fascinated with the other children and the statues of animals. Tomorrow it's off to the Botanical Gardens!
