Lincoln Zoo Park

Since Sam came to visit me this weekend (actually I think it is more like him visiting mom....), we decided to go to Lincoln Park Zoo because both of them have been to downtown. We have to take the subway from downtown to Lincoln Park because the free trolley doesn't run anymore.

 

It was quite a walk from the redline to the zoo!!! It looks much closer on the map. But because of our little detour, we accidentally found an OZ park!!! There's Tinman standing at the entrance, and Scarcrow and Lion in the park. I though it is very interesting.

 

After a very long 40min. walk, we finally got to the zoo. A lot of the cages are empty, I think it was because they were having a lot of trouble with the animals a few month ago. The largest exhibit was the monkeys. They are really funny looking. There are a lot of new borns too. That was kind of nice to see. Of course we have to go see the giraffe!!! Just love them!!!!

 

We took the bus back to Michigan Ave so that we don't have to walk all the way back to the subway. While we were walking along the Magnificent Mile, we accidently pass by Tiffany (I swear it was an accident...... ). We walked in the store to check out the price just for the heck of it. Oh my god they are expansive!!! A 0.41 Carat ring costs $2,500!! And it was this "cheap" because it wasn't the best quality. I knew that because I also tried on a 0.5 Carat ring, and that one was $5,200!!!! Poor Sam must almost had a heart attact when he saw those price......  There was a couple trying out a 2 Carat ring next to us. I wonder how much that ring costs....
