In spite of living here for, what, 4 years now? I still hadn’t made it to the Zoo that’s 30 minutes south in Tacoma.  I like the zoo.  A plot was formed to all gather at the zoo at dark to wander around the zoo while it’s completely decorated in Christmas lights. Pretty neat.  I’m now totally excited for Christmas and drinking hot chocolate on the beach.

So many lights!
