We spent the weekend in Columbus, visiting our son and daughter-in-law and granddaughter. We spent our Saturday at the Columbus Zoo. First, we had to have coffee!

This was from the lower viewing area of the polar bear habitat.
Then we were off to "Africa" to see camels, cheetahs, giraffes, warthogs, ostriches, lions, and more.

The aquarium was a welcome break from the heat, and a chance to see manatees and sea turtles.
