Everyone look this way! (Take two---aka, The Zoo)

"Okay! What a lovely day to go to the zoo! Let's roll." That's what we said to each other two weekends ago. We packed the car and head to Akron. Why Akron?Because Laylah is highly upset that Cleveland Zoo does not have any of her favorite animals, penguins. All was going well. We drove following the directions perfectly, UNTIL, Rey says hey lets make a change of plans, instead of following the directions, let's get off at this exit because it has a zoo sign. We get off at the exit drive through a less than attractive group of neighborhoods, turn at a sign that was nearly hidden by overgrowth of a tree, go through two detour signs, and fear that we have missed the zoo. In boredom we comment on the houses, when suddenly we come upon a very nice new complex (after passing very poor rundown housing for 15 minutes) I point out to Rey the number of houses in the complex with porch chairs and signs of happy dwellers. Long story short another 14 minutes later and a stop at a gas station for directions which send us in a square formation right back to the new housing development reveals that the zoo was in a hidden drive across from the development. It was my fault this time. Moral of the story---Everybody look on your own side of the car. Lol!
