The weather in September is absolutely perfect here. It's not unbearably hot and it's not cold enough to need a jacket. Plus it's end of summer/beginning of fall so it's not constantly raining like it does in the springtime. The Nuremberg Zoo was the perfect place to spend such a beautiful day. It's about 45 minutes to an hour away from where we live so the drive wasn't too terrible.
I fell in love with the zoo before we even went through the gate. There were was plenty of shade, it didn't cost too much, and well I love animals so I was excited! The whole zoo was basically on the side of a hill so it was all uphill. We went with other military friends and they were so excited to see buffalo. Ben and I found that funny because buffalo are pretty common in Kansas. There were so many animals so see and they seemed to have a lot more space than the zoos we'd been to in the U.S.
One of my favorite parts of the zoo was the dolphin show that we got to watch. The downside of the show was that it was completely in German so we didn't understand a word that was being said. It was still fun to watch all the dolphins jump in the air and do other tricks.
