The Trip

Well, we got back Saturday night around 10pm. I was too beat to write about it then or Sunday.  It was a decent drive, 5 hours. Didn't have much trouble with the directions though, thank god. We immediately went to the Equine Affair. I had no idea it would be so huge. We went to the breed pavilion and petted some of the horses but then had to damn near run to a seminar with John Lyons. I swear, I tried to be interested in what that man was saying but it was sooooo boring. It wasn't his fault, it was just a boring thing to talk about. How to make your horse stop. It lasted almost 2 hours. Immediately following that was the fresian breed demonstration. That was cool. They're beautiful horses. Afterwards, we went shopping, and shopping some more. LOL That was great. There was a lot of really cool stuff there that even non-horse people would've enjoyed. At the end of the night we went to the Phizer Fantasia. That was awesome. If you ever get a chance to see that, go. That was really neat to watch. They had so many different breeds and so many things that you just didn't know a horse was even capable of. The next morning we got up early and went straight to the Equine Affair. We looked at the expensive trailors, just so we could be like wow. Then we shopped for a few hours. Went back to the breed pavilion. We left for the Columbus Zoo at about 12:30pm. Another place you should go if you ever get a chance. It's not the best zoo I've been to but it had a lot of the animals that you wouldn't normally see at the other zoo's. It made the animal rescuer in me happy too. All the animals had the largest enclosures that I'd ever seen. I was glad to know they were fairly happy. A part of me doesn't like zoo's because I feel those animals should be free unless they otherwise can't survive in the wild, but it's unlikely that zoo's will ever change much. We left at 5, when the zoo closed and headed home.
