The Oregon Zoo made a lasting impression on me when I was 8 years old. It was our family vacation to Oregon visiting our Aunt. It was so big and green. Trees everywhere. It rained the whole time but I didn't care.

Growing up my brother, sister and I all loved animals. We grew up raising all sorts of animals. The Zoo was always a great place to go. When we moved to Oregon 2 years after that visit I remember asking to go to the Zoo all the time. It was one of the only field trips in school I truly enjoyed.

My favorite exhibit I would have to say was and still it the penguins. They look so cute and they always interacted with me.

Now that I am a mother I can't wait to take my little girl. She loves animals mostly the reptilian type. If your in the area or plan on visiting the area there is some info below. Please visits http://www.oregonzoo.org/ for all the info.  KM
