Nobody had school, and I was off of work. We had quite an adventurous day in store. We drove past the MLK Center, but it was so insanely full that I bailed.
Instead, we went to the Atlanta History Center, which had entrance fees waved for the day. We wandered in the gardens, goofed around in a living farm, and meandered through a few Civil War and 1996 Olympics exhibits. At least I was able to start a conversation about civil rights and fighting in wars.
Then we happened to time it just right and were able to have lunch with Dave.
We closed out the day at the Yellow River Game Ranch, which is a big petting/feeding zoo mostly of woodland and farm creatures. That was $1/person entrance + bags of feed. We got to see alpacas, a black bear, deer, peacocks/hens, goats, sheep, bunnies, pigs, red/gray foxes, a coyote, lots of chickens/ducks, donkey/burros. The free ranging peacocks were on full display, even shivering their feathers for the very uninterested peahens. We even got to see some goats butting heads and talked about that term. Because the fees were so low, there had been a lot of visitors before us, so the animals really were not very hungry for our goodies (peanuts). But we sure did have fun exploring.
Everyone was exhausted by dinner time!
