Montgomery Zoo & the Civil Rights Museum

Last weekend we went over to Montgomery to check out the zoo. It was cloudy and humid, but at least it didn't rain on us. In fact, it started raining a few minutes after we left - what a blessing! We also went down to see the Civil Right Museum after the zoo because it was within 5 minutes of the zoo. It was a really fun and enlightening excursion with the kids and I'm glad that we got to go.

Our kids were fascinated by the turtles - especially Dayne.

This was inside the bird sanctuary. Unfortunately I had a hard
time getting the birds in the picture.

We took the kids on the train that went around the zoo. Fortunately we took the train after we had walked around the whole zoo and seen everything. You really couldn't see the animals from the train. However, the kids didn't care - they just wanted to ride the train!

After the zoo we went to downtown Montgomery and went through the Civil Rights Museum. This monument was designed by the same woman who designed the Vietnam Memorial. I wish we would have had more time because there are a lot of Civil Rights Historical sites in downtown Montgomery. If you get a chance to visit us make sure that we take you there.
