Hello, my bucket list friends. I’ve enjoyed remembering my July road trip as I write each blog post about it However, I’m very excited to write this blog post because I will get to write about going to the zoo. I love getting to explore different zoos and On this road trip I got to go the Sequoia Park Zoo. It was a truly wonderful zoo and I can’t wait to tell you more about it so let’s get to it!

The sequoia park zoo was our first adventure on this day. This zoo was in a really great location right next to a very cute park. When we entered the zoo, the first animal we saw were flamingos. I love flamingos. They are so fun to watch and they are truly beautiful animals. I also got to see an owl , a bear , other birds, some barnyard animals and more. My favorite thing here was the red wood skywalk. The skywalk is a walkway that includes bridges. This is a great place to take pictures and get a good view of the beautiful redwoods. There was also a gift shop here where I got a plush flamingo and some other fun zoo souvenirs as well. After the zoo I went to the park where I got to go down a slide. And I took a picture
With a banana slug statue. After our zoo adventure, we went to the Dick Taylor chocolate factory. I really enjoyed going to this chocolate factory. There was a great selection of lots of yummy treats you could buy. I bought some treats of course and some souvenirs. But my favorite thing here was the peppermint tea Latte. It was one of the most amazing drinks. I have ever had in my life. Obviously I highly recommend visiting this chocolate factory. After our visit to the chocolate factory, we went on two more beautiful hikes . One hike that we went on gave us beautiful views of the ocean. On the other hike that we went on was the lady bird Johnson grove trail. There were many beautiful trees on this trail and I remember it being pretty easy overall. I highly recommend this trail for it’s beautiful scenery. this day was a wonderful summer day filled with adventure.
Thank you for reading !
